I want to - weave, knit, grow vegetables, read, paint. I got rid of a tory government! Now #FairVotes and #RejoinEU. Looking forward to starting my retirement again one day, but not just yet... Now unretired and working for an MP. Wasn't expecting that!

Andy Burnham says he wants to redistribute power to every corner of the country. That's a noble goal. But it cannot be achieved without ensuring that all votes count equally, regardless of your postcode. To empower left behind communities, we need Proportional Representation.
