WORKING-CLASS communities do not need candidates parachuted in to solve their problems, the woman challenging Labour chairwoman Anneliese Dodds for election is out to prove.

Jabu Nala-Hartley, a former Labour party councillor, is contesting the Oxford East seat as an extension of her long-standing role as an advocate for her community.

Her campaign as an independent socialist is supported by most of the local left, including the Communist Party and the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition.
