Jeremy made it clear to me that he
wanted to see me back in the party
standing as a candidate but even
Jeremy's wishes were not followed
through by the enough executive
seemingly that's why I say this party
machine is out of control and you know
we need a sort of rumour branch reform
of our party structures if we're going
to give this body back to the people to
whom it belongs in other words the
Labour Party grassroots membership and
that's why my campaign is going to be in
my opinion so important not just about
getting me reelected which obviously I
hope I can replicate your success George
when you were forced into a similar
situation but it's so important I think
to the future of the Labour Party is so
important for the future of democracy
and I'm somebody very very prejudiced on
the local issue very passionate about
Darby I mean I was born in the city on
Laguna City grew up in the city and
obviously I want to continue
representing people as I've been doing
now for the best part of 35 years as a
welfare rights officer that a local
councillor leader of the council and MP
I mean frankly it's the kind of casework
is standing up for local people and
getting things done for local people and
using the influence that you that you
have as an MP to right the wrongs and to
correctly and justices to all too many
people sadly are being subjected to in
Britain today and you know I very much
want to be able to continue doing that
son you look for four people in my home
city but on that wider element though
that issue about democracy you know and
trying to regain control of our party
and to actually improve your politics in
our country as a whole
