Jack’s tireless campaigning on education issues has demonstrated his strong and true socialist values. Plus, as a savvy media performer, he knows how to land Labour’s message effectively with local news organisations. No wonder the Tories are afraid of him!

We need a person who can stand and provide a voice for Ipswich. My good friend Jack is the right choice who can fulfill our hopes.

Most of us know of his great campaigns on education and his fight to reduce poverty in Ipswich.

I am glad to endorse Jack to be our next Parliamentary candidate.

I know that when Jack decides to commit himself, he means it.  His commitment to Ipswich will be 100% - he will work tirelessly to improve the town, and the lives and life-chances of everyone who lives here. He has energy and integrity. Jack will be a great MP for Ipswich.

Jack has a great record on Suffolk County Council of highlighting and campaigning against cuts. He has a proven ability of bringing people together to get positive results.

His message of leadership and ambition for Ipswich, uniting rather than dividing, is exactly what our town needs.

He would be an excellent Labour candidate and MP.

Having served on the County Council alongside Jack, I cannot think of a better person to be the next Labour MP for Ipswich.

He is dedicated, hardworking and is always ready to campaign for those in particular who need help in their everyday lives.

Now, more than ever we need someone to stand up for Ipswich and I know Jack is the person who can do that.

His campaigning record on education and fighting poverty in Ipswich are testimonies to his determination to do what is best for Ipswich residents.

I am happy to endorse Jack to be our next Parliamentary candidate.

“As a professional that works around inclusion, I understand the value of authenticity and the role we have to play around breaking down barriers. Jack has a proven track record of raising awareness on SEND support and provision in Suffolk.

”His commitment and passion for our town really shines through and I genuinely do believe that Jack’s vision will enable us to grow and thrive as a community and most importantly, ensure that nobody is left behind. Jack would make an exceptional MP for Ipswich.”

As Chair of the governing body of a local primary school I am acutely aware of the impact that a decade of austerity has had on School children and their families.  I have supported Jack Abbott on numerous campaigns and have seen the impact a passionate campaigner like him can have. 

His work with colleagues in local schools over the disappointing uptake of Healthy Start vouchers in Suffolk saw a significant increase from 45% of those eligible to 71%. 

I am proud to support Jack’s candidature as PPC for Ipswich and know he will make a great MP for our town.

Judging by the way he has championed education and young people over the years and as well as taking Suffolk County Council to task for their failings on many issues, including the cost of living crisis, Jack would make for an excellent candidate to represent Ipswich at the next general election.

I know Jack will continue to be a great asset and advocate for our town.

I've known Jack for a number of years, I've always known him to be an honest, hardworking person, who is focused on the best for the residents of Ipswich.

At GMB, we know the value of having MPs who want to deliver a high-skill, high wage economy, who will back British industry, and who will stand up to exploitation in the workplace.

Jack will do just that - that’s why we are backing him as the next MP for Ipswich.

Jack is an energetic, passionate and generous candidate who takes the time to understand the circumstances and issues around any conversation.

Jack has an incredible ability to connect with people, whether they are naturally supportive of Labour values or not, and to show them how Labour can deliver in power.

His depth of knowledge and expertise around education, poverty and transport in particular are incredible, and I strongly believe he would make a fantastic candidate and MP for Ipswich.

Jack has been a tireless campaigner for Suffolk, always giving steadfast support for policies which will support the most vulnerable in our county.

Whilst serving as the Councillor for Bridge, he led a successful campaign to force the council to commit to producing the Food Justice Action Plan

He is a hardworking and dedicated activist, who connects well with people due to his great personality and his desire to listen. He loves this town and is committed to working hard to improve the lives of its residents.

I would be proud to have him as our Labour candidate.
