Webbe to stand for peace and justice in Leicester
SOCIALIST MP Claudia Webbe confirmed today that she will fight her Leicester East seat in the general election as an independent candidate.
She pledged to place people and planet over profit and work for justice for her diverse working-class constituency in the city she was born and raised in.
Elected for Labour in 2019, Ms Webbe now sits as an independent in an area marked by violent disturbances between communities in 2022.
