Laura Bruni has been an active member of the Labour Party since 1986, and she has substantial Parliamentary, organisation and campaigning experience. Between 1997 to 2005 she worked as Parliamentary Assistant to John Cryer MP, the Labour MP for Hornchurch. Before that up to 1997, she was a constituency caseworker for the late Bernie Grant MP and also managed his successful campaign for the regulation of immigration advisers.
These experiences have taught her how important it is for this country to have a Labour Government.
In May 2005 she stood as the Labour Candidate for Colchester, and fought a tough campaign against the sitting Liberal Democrat MP Bob Russell, an experience she found both challenging and rewarding.
Laura was praised by Colchester Labour Party for being an excellent, hardworking Parliamentary candidate, able to motivate a team of members from all wings of the party. She knocked on thousands of doors in the 6 months leading up to the general election campaign, spoke at numerous public meetings, raised money for the campaign and worked with local trade unions. She appeared regularly in the local press and on radio and television.
Laura seeks to secure a society based on equal access to power for all people, regardless of race, gender, socio-economic class, religious identity, disability or sexual orientation.
She has been involved in Labour politics for most of her adult life and firmly believes Labour is the only party that can represent the interest of working people, the vulnerable and the ‘seldom heard’ in local and national politics.
Laura also wants to strengthen trade union rights to organise, particularly amongst marginalised and vulnerable groups of workers. When the political will is there, very significant change can be achieved through collaboration and collective efforts by the Labour movement.
She first applied to join the Labour Party after the 1984 Miners Strike because she believed it was necessary for people in all walks of life to campaign against the destruction of jobs and communities. Like thousands of other loyal Labour members Laura worked for many years to secure the election of a Labour government and wants to play an even stronger role to improve standards in education, health, employment and the environment. She would also like to help Britain play a progressive role in international politics, standing up for human rights and working to tackle disease and poverty throughout the world.
She became politically active in an era of high unemployment and recession caused by Tory policies. And is determined that Britain is never again faced with the same lack of opportunity and destruction of communities. Nor should Britain accept a society is healthy where extreme poverty exists alongside extreme wealth. The Labour Party should implement policies to the narrow the gap between rich and poor, strengthen the trade union laws and combat racism and discrimination.
She has also campaigned on many local issues such as the campaign to retain Waltham Forest's Whips Cross as a district general hospital.
The campaign for a London living wage, for fair pay and conditions for fire station cleaners and for better local transport.
For example a successful campaign with Neil Gerrard a few years ago against ticket touts at Walthamstow Centeral station and campaigning for proper replacement transport services whilst the Victoria Line shuts early on week nights.
