London: Sikh Federation UK, The new Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Tom Watson MP appeared on the leading political programme on a Sunday, the BBC Andrew Marr Show (Sunday 13 September) the day after he was elected.
When asked about representation in the Labour Party he specifically mentioned the lack of Sikhs in any UK legislature (Westminster, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly) and that this needs to change.
This interview shows the power of the Sikh Manifesto that Tom Watson has talked about so many times and the advantage of having the most senior politicians from constituencies where there are a large number of Sikhs that they directly relate to and understand.
Tom Watson will be speaking at the Sikh Federation (UK) Annual Sikh Convention on Sunday 20 September.
