I am delighted to announce that I have been selected as the Labour party candidate for North Swindon in the next general election. It is a tremendous honour to have the opportunity to represent the town where I was born and raised.

Swindon is a great town and deserves an MP who will represent it with pride and put the residents first.

I already have the privilege of being a borough councillor in Swindon. I am also a local business owner and an armed forces veteran.
