I am deeply honoured to have been appointed to the House of Lords by the Prime Minister & His Majesty The King.
A huge thank you to my family, friends, and team for all their support over many years.
Looking forward to doing my best to do good with this incredible opportunity.

I'm supporting Helen Godwin for Mayor and encourage all my fellow Labour Party members and trade unionists in the West of England to do so too.

“What happened around Nigel is not an acceptable form of protest, what I can’t pretend is that he hasn’t fed into a culture of anger that ends up manifesting in this kind of aggressive kind of politics.” Former Lab Mayor Marvin Rees reacts to objects being thrown at Nigel Farage.
