Together, we can deliver real change for families across Suffolk Coastal
Why I'm standing
I am standing to be the first Labour MP for Suffolk Coastal, and to represent the constituency that I grew up in.
The Conservative government has taken Suffolk Coastal for granted for too long - and we need a positive voice to represent the people, communities, and businesses that make Suffolk Coastal great. It is time we have an MP that puts Suffolk Coastal first.
Local issues are personal priorities for me. Suffolk Coastal is the constituency I grew up in – it's where I lived, went to school, and had my first part-time jobs before going to university. My dad still lives in the constituency, and my mum lives in a care home in Ipswich.
If I am elected as the MP to represent Suffolk Coastal, I will be dedicated, committed, and determined to deliver for everyone - regardless of where you live, or who you voted for.
My priorities for Suffolk Coastal
After fourteen years of a Conservative government, Suffolk Coastal is ready for change. I have the drive and determination to deliver for the people, communities, and businesses that make Suffolk so special - and to advocate for Suffolk Coastal at a national level.
People deserve a visible local MP who represents the issues that they care about. I will have a fully staffed, full-time local office and hold regular surgeries across the constituency. My time as an MP will be dedicated to serving the people of Suffolk Coastal.
If I am elected at the next General Election, my priorities will include:
-
Tackling the Cost of Living Crisis. The spiralling cost of living must be a priority that we tackle head-on, and I will champion the policies set out by Labour that aim to help hard-working families whilst simultaneously growing the economy.
-
Cutting NHS waiting times. Labour would put patients first, cutting waiting times and tackling the GP and dental crisis by recruiting 7,500 more doctors and 10,000 more nurses, paid for by the abolished non-dom tax status.
-
Driving improvements in education in Suffolk. We must raise school standards and expand high-quality education, employment opportunities, and training routes so that more young people in Suffolk can prosper.
-
Creating a cleaner, greener Suffolk. Suffolk Coastal is one of the most beautiful areas of the UK. We must preserve our natural environment, which means cleaning up and protecting our rivers and coastline.
-
Bringing better transport and infrastructure to Suffolk. We need an MP who will work with other leaders across the county to fix our broken transport system, mend our crumbling roads, and restore bus services to the rural towns and villages that have seen services disappear.
-
Championing social care and support for older people. Care is in crisis, and we urgently need reform. I will champion this reform to provide greater support for older people and their carers.
It's time for change
Our constituency has been represented by the Conservatives since its creation - and it's clear that they've taken Suffolk Coastal for granted for too long.
It's now time for change – we must replace this chaotic Conservative government with a government that delivers economic stability and rising prosperity.
Polling for the General Election shows that only the Labour party can oust the Conservatives in Suffolk Coastal. With Labour in government, and a Labour MP who's on your side, we can build a cleaner, greener, more prosperous Suffolk Coastal.
