I don’t know if Zac Goldsmith learned that from his election defeat, but what is clear is that we need
the support of many to succeed in this game, at all levels of politics.

Whether it involved knocking on doors,making phone calls or baking cakes to feed the army of volunteers.
Although, I went only a few times – delivered leaflets, folded letters, stuffed envelopes and made some tea, I feel that the greatest thing of all in these elections is the company we keep and the huge number of people doing what they can to follow their beliefs and ideals. In this case, we backed a great candidate who has her feet firmly planted on the ground and collectively we won.
