Thank You

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me during this selection.

All I ever wanted was to get to the final hustings to put my case to the members on how I wanted to build on the successes that Labour have achieved.

I give my full backing to the winning candidate and hope that he will build a mass membership party, support our candidates in the forthcoming local election, win back the council for Labour and retain the seat at the next general election.

This has been an unbelievable journey and I'm honoured to have had the chance to stand for my home town.

Thank you.
