About Andy Walker
Andy is a Your Party member based in the City of Durham. He has been a labour movement activist for more than 40 years, and is currently the secretary of the Newcastle branch of the National Union of Journalists and also a parish councillor in his local area of Langley Park. He resigned from the Labour Party in 2025 in opposition to its anti-Palestine and pro-austerity political agenda.
If elected to the CEC, Andy will bring a wide range of political and organisational skills to the leadership of Your Party, which include more than three decades working as a journalist and a communications expert in a range of national and regional third sector, not-for-profit, charitable and campaigning organisations. He will be a genuine members' representative on the CEC and will look to bring the voice of comrades in the North East region to the leadership of Your Party - a region which has a rich socialist tradition which has done so much to build our movement over many years.
