So be nice and kind to one another. We are all someone's child. I'm done and out until Thursday. Thanks for reading if you did. #votegreen

And not wishing to quote either Cameron or Blair because I don't like either of them but I really do feel like I'm the future.

I'm going to make sure of that. Open, responsive, inclusive to all. Lessons to be learned on all sides after this #telford #ge2017

So consider yourselves forewarned because I'm going to be ready for 2019 and the Green Party are only going to grow in this region.

I'm only going to get more momentum and I am always going to have the passion and drive that looking into my son's eyes gives me.

And I've effectively done this on my own you know. So I will sign off from this long winded tweeting thread by saying this...

to suddenly having to fend off criticisms from numerous people.

But at the same time I am disillusioned with the reality of politics. The fact I became a victim of my own success. 5 week of being ignored

I'm not going to stop trying to build a better world and hopefully on 9 June that world will be closer to being reality rather than further

because I can connect with people. I've done it in my job for five years and I know I am effective at getting messages across and convincing

Those experiences cant be taken away from me. The fact that I know if I had 100s of volunteers behind me I could be a real force for change

and they have. I will never forget the reaction I received from people at the Trades Council Hustings, to the BBC Radio Shropshire debate

and this was never about winning for me. This was about showing that my ideas and the way I can present them could get traction/ support

away from the values that I hold dear. Values I believe will make our society better. I put myself out there to be shot at and criticised

that I stood up for my beliefs and did something real. I didn't just sit on facebook sharing articles whilst the country went..

I've only been involved in politics fully since the 20 April and the reason was I wanted to be able to say to my son when he was older

But the main reason I stood in this election, the reason I initially put my name down to hand out leaflets for Labour was my son

the left leaning politics that I feel are for the best for this country can be implemented and we can have a faire and more just society
