Grammar school educated, I have worked in finance since leaving school, the majority of which has been in the Asset Management industry.

Full statement

I currently work for the Financial Ombudsman where I have developed a strong sense of justice and fairness, something that is clearly lacking in this current government.

As your Sussex Weald PPC, I will be focused on defeating and removing the tired, worn out, complacent legacy parties that have caused so much harm to our great country and have always taken votes for granted. I will campaign for an end to illegal immigration, freedom of speech and personal liberties, improved health care and a strong Britain both economically and militarily.

I believe in what were previously traditional common sense Conservative policies, before the Tory Party became unrecognisable. We are left with a rag bag of career politicians who have never had a proper job are detached from the real world and the struggles of everyday people.

We live in a first world country and yet we can't enjoy a suitable standard of life because we struggle to keep warm, fill our cupboards, get NHS appointments and find suitable housing.

One of my major issues with this and previous governments is the incredulous waste and red tape that stifles business and drives up the cost of living.

Since leaving the EU, people’s eyes have been open to the opportunities and benefits of being an independent sovereign nation. Fundamental change and Reform is possible in keys areas and I will campaign to ensure we take proper advantage of Brexit and put the ‘Great’ back into Great Britain.
