We are working towards a better future for Pembrokeshire.
Join our campaign to help me become the next Labour MP for Mid & South Pembrokeshire.
MY STORY
ABOUT ME
I practised as a barrister before leaving to work as an organiser at a grassroots trade union. My values are hard work, community and caring for others. My work in the law and now the labour movement demonstrates my commitment to those values – fighting for workers’ rights and organising workers to campaign for better pay and working conditions.
My wife, Poppy, grew up in Essex and my mother-in law now lives on Mersea Island. We are connected to Colchester and feel part of the local community.

ABOUT ME
I live just outside St Davids, but I grew up in a farming family and have spent many Easters lambing and many summers doing the harvest. Professionally, I trained and practised as a barrister, specialising in healthcare, public and employment law, before leaving to work as an organiser for a grassroots trade union that helps cleaners campaign for better pay and working conditions. My values are hard work, community and caring for others. I am committed to Pembrokeshire and want to be an MP that is embedded within our local community, using my skills to fight for a kind, caring and compassionate society where everyone is valued.

WORKING FOR PEMBROKESHIRE
As your Labour MP, I would stand up for Pembrokeshire and work alongside our Labour Senedd members and local Labour councillors to address the problems we face – both as a local community and as a wider society. Labour’s agenda is bold: economic competency, a new deal for working people, climate leadership, a commitment to locally sourced and sustainable food, a removal of export barriers, and trade standards which we can be proud of. A Labour Government in Westminster can and will make a difference. I am ambitious for Pembrokeshire and believe that together we can achieve great things. It is time for change – in Westminster, and in Pembrokeshire.

“I am determined to fight for a fairer and more equal society where everyone is valued”
EXPERIENCE
ADVOCATE FOR WORKERS' RIGHTS
Prior to working as a trade union organiser, I practised as a barrister, specialising in Employment, Healthcare and Public Law. I was committed to promoting access to justice at the Bar, regularly accepting cases on a voluntary basis. I assisted trade unions voluntarily, supporting my branch of the GMB union as well as other grass roots trade unions. I was also part of Labour’s Campaign for Human Rights and co-authored a paper on behalf of the organisation about the Independent Human Rights Act Review. I want to use my skills as an advocate and my knowledge of the justice system to speak up for our community of Mid and South Pembrokeshire in Parliament.

CAMPAIGNER & TRADE UNION ACTIVIST
I currently work as a trade union campaigner and organiser at the Cleaners and Allied Independent Workers Union (“CAIWU”), which is a member-led and grass roots trade union specialising in representing cleaners across the UK. Our members are some of the most marginalised in society, who have often emigrated from foreign countries and exist on insecure, low paid jobs and are at risk of exploitation. We campaign for improved pay and working conditions in the workplace through collective action, and we fight for justice in the courts in order to hold their employers to account.
