My name’s Chris and I’m the IT Coordinator for South Swindon Labour and I was really pleased to represent both South Swindon Labour Party and LGBT Labour at this years Pride event. I was there along with Anne Snelgrove, Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for South Swindon, Councillor Nadine Watts (Old Town) and members of the GMB Union.

After an early start getting everything together to take to Pride we arrived and set up our stall with the GMB and waited for the fun to begin.
We didn’t have to wait long before people started to wander over for a chat about Labour’s values and to ask to be kept up to date on LGBT Labour’s work to get equal marriage rights for all couples, regardless of their sexuality, and to sign a petition calling on the Government to create thousands of new apprentice places for young people.
We made a lot of new friends at Pride, and met up with a great number of Labour members from across the South West. It was a long day but I’m looking forward to next year!
