Through SME4Labour and Labour Home, I work to ensure that small businesses, workers, communities and local government have a stronger voice in political debate.
SME4Labour
I chair SME4Labour, which brings together small-business owners, workers and Labour policymakers. We campaign for fairer business rates, skills, high streets and a practical offer for SMEs.
Labour Home
I am Director of Labour Home, which publishes news, comment and briefings from across the Labour movement. It exists to encourage thoughtful debate about Britain’s future.
