She says: "I have a fundamental belief in equality, social justice and environmental responsibility.

"By voting for her me you are taking a stand against this government’s unfair and unnecessary cuts to vital services, vicious attacks on our healthcare system and wilful destruction of our planet in the name of profit.

"I would fight to make sure that everyone is given not just an equal start in life but equal opportunities throughout. I would fight to renationalise essential public services and work to fix our broken and undemocratic political system.

"I am the only candidate standing in Kingston and Surbiton who would campaign for no more cuts."
