I’m standing for Reform UK because I want to leave a better country and a better future for my children.

Full statement

This expectation that the next generation should inherit a better world from the previous generation has in the past been a given but now it is very much in doubt. The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have all presided over nearly three decades of managed decline of our economy, rapid change to our society and a sustained attack on our values.

Britain deserves much better and Reform UK are the only party offering real change and hope for a better future. The three legacy parties all believe in mass immigration, big government, high taxes, expensive energy and the woke agenda. Reform UK are the only party to reject this orthodoxy.

I have voted for the Conservatives in ten general elections but never again. Ideologically my position hasn’t changed over the years but the Tories have abandoned me and moved to the left, embracing globalist, corporatist values that I don’t align with. We need to put our country and its people first and that’s what Reform UK are proposing.

I have lived in Norwich for 23 years, I have raised my family here and started a small business here. Norfolk needs a fresh mandate in order to end decades of financial mismanagement. Tax payers deserve better services and better value for money from their local authority. Reform UK will run the council for the benefit of the people who pay for it rather than the people who work for it.
