The reason I'm in politics is the simple ideal of public service: I want to make a contribution to our community and our country. If I can make the future a bit brighter for us and for the next generation - including my daughter Aurelie - then that's something worthwhile.
The reason I am Labour is that I believe where and to which family we are born is pure circumstance. Everybody - no matter what their background - should have the chance to live a life not of stress and struggle, but of hope and opportunity. I believe that government has a role to play in making sure everybody gets that chance.
Because it's not about where you come from - it's about where you can go.
My Battersea Vision outlines the key themes that I will focus on as your MP:
+ enjoying life and work in Battersea
+ a future of fairness and security
+ a life of opportunity
