Member of Parliament for Stockport

I was elected as the Member of Parliament for Stockport at the 2019 General Election. I am deeply honoured to represent Stockport where I and my family live.

Before entering politics, I worked as a shop-floor trade unionist in Stockport, before becoming an organiser for Unison trade union, where I organised care workers in precarious employment. 

I was a member of the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee between 2018 and my election to the House of Commons in December 2019, serving as one of the nine Constituency Labour Party representatives.

Since being elected, I have joined several All Party Parliamentary Groups, including Rail, Fairtrade, Woods & Trees, Cricket and Beer.

In addition, I am a member of Unite and USDAW trade unions.
