Good to see you Blogging Jess

I am delighted to see Jess Cordingly blogging today on Labour List. Jess used to work for me in Brussels, and left earlier this year to become the Managing Director of Future First.

“Future First is a grassroots initiative working to empower young people who are at or have recently studied at a state school. Future First works with schools to build networks of former students to advise, inform and inspire current students about their future prospects.”

Her post is all about giving better opportunities to state school pupils, something I have always campaigned for, I was a school governor for many years.

Jess was also great fun to work with as this picture at the London Labour Party Conference in Stratford last year captures. I hope to see more posts from her,we need to redress the male preponderence of the blogosphere.
