“I got back to the constituency feeling confident that Labour has shown itself ready to lead nationally and to provide the hope and change that local people are crying out for. After the chaos of the past few years, the calm, steady leadership that a Labour government now offers will give us the stability and long-term vision needed to start to put our country back on its feet again.”
Kim will be Labour’s candidate in the new Spen Valley constituency at the general election expected next year. In the meantime, she remains the MP for the whole of Batley and Spen and returned back to work to organise public meetings on sports and leisure facilities, town halls and other local amenities.

“We are now the party of financial responsibility, reform of public services, and serious action to protect our environment and tackle climate change.
“For me the next general election can’t come soon enough.”
