I live here in Oxfordshire with my wife and two children, and I want to be a local champion for our area and your voice in Parliament.

Full statement

I’m going to be 100% focused on delivering your priorities: better access to GPs and our NHS by recruiting more local doctors; slowing down the pace of development so that our infrastructure can catch up; helping with the cost of living, especially by rolling out new childcare support; improving the awful state of our roads by holding the County Council to account; more police and safer streets; and protecting our beautiful countryside from inappropriate development like the huge proposed Botley West solar farm. Most recent polls show that the Conservatives and Labour are neck and neck in this constituency, with the Liberal Democrats behind in third. I worry a lot about what a Labour Government would mean for our area. Keir Starmer doesn’t have a plan for the country except for higher taxes, and Labour would just see Oxfordshire as a distant location for their top down housing targets imposed from Westminster. Our area needs a strong voice to stand up for local people and that’s what I want to be.
