To the people of Brighton: your support has been my strength. Despite this setback, my love and commitment to you and our shared ideals remain steadfast.
My post-selection statement:
Labour ideals of fairness and equality have been at the core of my life. I’m standing to be the next Labour MP for Sheffield Central to support the city that has supported me.
Please join me, in taking on this great challenge.
For Sheffield. For Labour.
I want to congratulate Abtisam Mohamed on her victory in the Sheffield Central selection contest today. She will make a fine MP and I look forward to campaigning with her in the months and years to come.
I joined the Labour Party in 1995 and have campaigned in every type of election you can think of for our party.
When Labour needed me, I've always stepped up. Now I need you.

Next Monday the Brighton Pavilion Greens will wake up knowing who they will face in the General Election. They don’t want it to be me because they know I’ll beat them. Brighton is special to me. I’ve been a fighter all my life, now I want to fight for Brighton in parliament.
This weekend, we will learn who has been shortlisted in the
#Sheffield
Central selection. I’m proud to have been backed by the members of Manor Castle branch and the Musician’s Union.
There is less than 3 weeks to go until the hustings. I’m so proud of all of the members that have reached out today to pledge support and so grateful to the army of volunteers that are doing the work to help me win this election.

In the face of Tory culture wars, where trans people are unjustly belittled and used as pawns, I will stand firm as the MP. Brighton Pavilion, let’s unite against this divisive rhetoric. Together, we can champion dignity, respect, and equality for all.
39 years since coming out, I've seen the world change. And we can change it even more in 2024 by selecting then electing the first openly trans candidate for parliament, Brighton's inclusive spirit embodies this progress. Let's make history together.
#TransRights
Did you know I will campaign all year round in all wards of
#Brighton
, ensuring no area is overlooked? On my watch, there will be no, ‘no go’ areas for Labour. That’s how we will overturn a 20,000 majority in less than a year.

A big salute to

Festival - all of the meticulous planning and organisation even with it raining cats and dogs, we weren’t going to be stopped. Great to share a stage with
@xiyebastida

@JeromeFosterII
and excellent to hear about their activism.
Brighton Pavilion is a place where diversity thrives, and we could make history by electing its first trans MP. For almost 40 years I’ve been a voice for trans people. Now I want to take that voice to parliament.
I’m proud to have been proposed and seconded in every branch meeting tonight, to have received the endorsement of members in Manor Castle and to have received significant levels of support in every branch that nominated tonight.
Onwards to Broomhill and Sharrow Vale tomorrow.
