The Tory NHS funding squeeze has led to record waiting lists, cancelled operations and thousands of staff vacancies. I will work to ensure waiting lists are tackled, dentistry services are restored and staff are respected.
One in five Coventry households is in fuel poverty and the Tory cost of living crisis is out of control. I’ll fight to insulate homes, reduce bills and end homelessness.
The Tories have cut police and violent crime and traffic offences have soared. I’ll work with partners to cut crime, deliver justice and support victims.
The Tories have cut the budget of every school in Coventry. I’ll make sure the generation that has missed out because of Covid gets the support they need to succeed, with more specialist teachers, a free breakfast for every primary school child and new technical excellence colleges to break down the barriers to opportunity.
Coventry made me. My parents settled here from Ireland, I was born in the Walsgrave hospital and I grew up during the Thatcher years.
Despite those hard times, my Coventry teachers helped me win a place at Oxford which led to a job in Brussels and then teaching at Cranfield University. Coventry opened my door to opportunity, and a life of public service. That’s why I’m determined to see that people in my home city get the chances that they deserve.
Growing up, I lost friends to knife crime, and I saw how mass unemployment destroys people’s jobs, hopes and dignity. That’s why I joined the Labour Party, over thirty years ago.
I never imagined that I would end up having a role in a Labour Government and getting a CBE from the King! I’ve been a Government Minister, Select Committee Chair and Shadow Cabinet member.
As a Labour MP for 14 years, I helped thousands of constituents with issues from housing to benefits, debt and access to justice. Today, 13 years of Tory chaos have once again left us reeling.
The next Labour government will need MPs who can hit the ground running. People who have seen politics at the highest level. We must rebuild public services, create new green jobs, and tackle climate change.
Coventry East needs a seasoned MP who can bring jobs and investment to our city. Someone with a strong track record as a constituency MP, who can hit the ground running. Who combines local roots with national experience. That’s why I’m asking you to vote for me to be your general election candidate.

On the first anniversary of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, Mary joined councillors and local people to stand in solidarity with refugees from Ukraine.
She said, “Coventry has a long history as a city of sanctuary and a city of peace. I wanted to show the many Ukrainians who have fled their homeland that we support them in their struggle against Putin’s brutality.”
