My career has been in software engineering.

Full statement

I've worked in events media, in finance and currently in defence where I manage a project, architect the solutions and write the code. I've spent the last 20 years facing complex problems and solving them. I have been living in Crawley since 2016 and lived in Surrey before that.

I voted Leave in the 2016 referendum. I've never regretted that vote nor the following times we had to hammer the point home to our political class. Like so many others I voted for Boris in the hope that we had an optimistic, British patriot who would champion our people, our country and our values and reverse the downward trends we all experienced. Like so many others I have now seen what the Conservative party has become.

I will never give up on Britain, her values, people and history. With a strong reform of our institutions, we will save Britain.

My priorities are focussed on public safety, the safety of women and girls and to stop the rampant crime that is happening through Crawley. Spending is out of control and that needs to be brought back to sensible levels and only on what benefits the good people of Crawley. There are a myriad of other issues to resolve as well, such as restoring the high street, get council house repairs done as close to first time as possible, stop West of Ifield expansion and resist the illegal immigrant settlement into our communities putting our safety at great risk. None of us at Reform are single issue, we hear all perspectives and record all problems raised to us for addressing.

Oh, and fix the damn potholes.
