I am a 48 year old Plymouth born and bred local businessman who has lived in St Peter and the Waterfront Ward since I was six months old.

Full statement

I stood for Reform UK last year because I decided politics needed to change.

In many areas just the application of basic common sense would be a good start. The nation faces many challenges, but we can overcome them. To succeed, we need to do Brexit properly. We must grow our way out of the crisis, we cannot tax our way out of it. We must stand up for our core democratic values, our civil liberties and our right to free speech.

Let's celebrate our pride in being British, our amazing culture, our unbreakable communities, our incredible heritage. Let's stop all this woke nonsense that is holding us back. Let's have a proper immigration policy that works for our Country and protects our borders.

Together, lets make great things happen.
