I was deselected by the Conservatives back in October due to the Conservative Councillor for St Andrews Ward and now Immanuel Conservative Candidate Cllr Steven Smithson being too afraid to fight his own seat and loose to Reform, so abandoned his residents for what he thinks is a "safe Tory seat"

My Immanuel Ward residents deserve better! And deserve someone who isn't going to abandon them at the slightest chance they may loose an election.

Full statement

That's why I am standing as an Independent Candidate! Because residents deserve someone who will fight for them even when the odds aren't in my favour, they deserve a candidate who will never stop working hard and deserve a candidate who puts them before party politics.
