Dan Carden | I'm proud to stand alongside workers in struggle HD

Dan Carden tells the House how his upbringing shaped his politics. "In 1995 my dad was sacked alongside 500 Liverpool dockers for refusing to cross a picket line. That dispute – of workers fighting casualisation – lasted 27 months and left my dad unemployed for 7 years. From the age of 8, I stood on picket lines – and I’m as proud to stand alongside workers in struggle today as an MP, as I was then as a kid. Nye Bevan said he had only one concern in politics - where does power lie, and how can it be attained by the workers? That is what brings me to this House."
