THANK YOU to the Morning Star for regularly printing articles of hope, determination and belief in a better society and a better world.

Yesterday morning I announced my independent candidacy for Islington North in the general election.

Today I’ve not long returned from a daily visit to a local cafe, and I spoke to many residents as I made my way to and from the cafe. I was delighted to receive many offers of support, and congratulatory messages for our campaign, and expressions of hope that we will offer something very different from other mainstream parties.
