I recognise the valuable opportunity I have been given to take partisan action, drawing on my experience. I get to say plainly what I think and advocate to fix what I think needs fixing. It is what I saw in my 27 years of practising employment law that drew me here and will guide me. I will get to that in a minute, but first I want to acknowledge that it is the wonderful leadership of the Labour Party right now that makes me thrilled to be here.
