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 main 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 21 years, I have raised my family here and started a small business here. I don’t need a new career in politics. Frankly I’m busy enough already but some of us have to stand up and put our heads above the parapet. If we want real change, we will have to fight for it. The legions of the liberal elite stand against us. I’m up for the fight. Are you?
