  The ePolitix.com Charity Champion Awards 2006: Nominate
Emily has supported the long-running campaign by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for ‘One Million Sustainable Homes’, quickly understanding the potential, particularly in carbon dioxide emission-reductions, to be gained through ramping-up government ambitions for more environmentally friendly housing.
Emily was instrumental in securing and helping steer the environmental audit committee’s inquiry into the Marine Bill, the resulting report strongly advocating WWF’s demands for integrated spatial planning to better manage competing interests at sea, whilst protecting important species and fish stocks.
Emily has used the issue of the Marine Bill to link the environment with another of her passions – young people – by going into schools in the constituency and discussing the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and the role that Parliament can play.

 Blog of Funk: A Muffin By Any Other Name
After 10 minutes sincere blather, it sunk in to Emily that I was for real, and she agreed to meet for an interview.
UK politics, as Emily pointed out, was dragged to the right during Thatcher's years in power, and the Labour Party with it, and the most zeal she expressed was for politics to be re-aligned and move left once again.
But Emily is a real heavyweight contender, she isn't just relying on charm and voter loyalty to defend the large Labour majority - her determination is to enter Parliament, and when she gets there I get the feeling she will do very well.
