Uma Kumaran

Statement to voters

This election is about change. After 14 years of Tory chaos and mismanagement, we have the chance to build a brighter future. I was born in East London. I studied at Queen Mary University. I've lived in Stratford, in Maryland and in Bow. Now, I want to make a difference here. I know the difference Labour in power can make. I was born in the NHS and have worked for the NHS. I've spent most of my working life in public service, from working with the UN and global climate advocates to tackle climate change, to helping London's Mayor deliver life-changing policies like free school meals and new council homes. 14 years of Tory austerity has had a huge impact on our communities. But as your champion, working with a new Labour Government, I’ll deliver for you and your family. I promise to be your voice in Westminster, to stand up for fairness, for peace and hope - I’ll always fight for you.
