Here’s a thread on why I think it is vital that @DawnButlerBrent is on the ballot for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, and why she is my strong preference to take on that role:
Values: In an era when far too many MPs stand for nothing but their own career prospects, Dawn is a conviction politician. She has fought for survivors of domestic violence, refugees facing persecution, workers asking for basic human rights and true equality & dignity for *all*.
