I have a background in asset management, having worked directly for the Prime Minister of Qatar, and have served as a director for several companies in the housing sector and community projects.

Full statement

My political involvement stems from my work with charities and communities, notably 'Getting Court' (https://gettingcourt.com/what-we-do/). I have stood for election with the Conservatives and have observed how successive Prime Ministers have ignored critical advice. Enough is enough. Your Labour MP has been in post for years, during which the area has declined.

I was born and raised in Southwest London, (including a period of time in Hammersmith) Although I now reside in a different constituency, I am eager to represent Hammersmith & Chiswick.

Key local issues:

- The quality of life in the area has significantly declined.

- Problems include antisocial behaviour, theft, the high cost of living, and insufficient affordable and social housing.

- Food banks are overburdened, with over half of food parcels going to children.

- Many police stations have closed, and there are too few police officers on the streets.

I am married to a fine artist Peregrine Heathcote and have three children.

I fundamentally disagree with all forms of extremism and believe in 'loving your neighbour' of every creed and race. I believe that good quality of life, excellent education and traditional family values are essential to the success of future generations. Dramatic Reform in many areas combined with economic growth are key to the success of our nation.
