We need authentic leaders to root out and prevent disgusting greed

I’VE decided how I will vote in the Labour leadership elections. All these years a rank-and-file member, and now I have a say in who should lead my party.

I’ll be voting for two women: Joan Burton as leader, and Ciara Conway as deputy leader. They are authentic people, and that’s what attracted me to them. When they talk about Labour values, they mean it.

They have campaigned for equality all their working lives, and I’d love to think that they’ll bend their efforts to putting equality, and the struggle against inequality, back on the agenda.
