“we have to reach out to old and new supporters of Labour and explain to them in straightforward language why we remain the Party which stands up for the things which matter to them.”
Main Story
National Experience...
For the last ten years, I have combined working as a professor of social policy at Cardiff University with being head of the First Minister’s political office at the Welsh Assembly Government.
This has meant being at the heart of devolved government in Wales, concentrating on the delivery of Labour’s agenda in health, education and social justice. In the process I have been able to learn, as part of Rhodri Morgan’s team, what it takes to be an Assembly Member and how a Labour Cabinet, and Labour Ministers, operate in government.
Pledges
My Pledges to you
- to live in the constituency and provide a strong service through regular surgeries and the full range of modern communications;
- to attend a monthly meeting of each Ward in the constituency at least twice each year;
- to focus on health, housing, education and the environment –
the issues which make a difference to daily life;
- to use my experience of working at the Assembly to retain Cardiff West at the centre of Labour’s leadership of the Assembly Government;
- to put politics back at the forefront
of the Labour Party, arguing for socialist solutions to the economic and social issues we face in Wales.
