Kerry's been Labour all her life. Leafleting as a child, campaigning in by-elections, standing as a 2024 parliamentary candidate. She knows Labour's at its best when it's broad, open & confident in its values. Nominate Kerry as Mainstream NEC candidate at your next CLP meeting.

🌹@JOwusuNepaul stood as the Labour candidate against Farage in Clacton in 2024. He saw first-hand the threat of authoritarian populism. Labour must be bolder, brighter & broader. As Mainstream's NEC candidate, he's fighting to make sure we meet this moment.
