Statement to voters

Honesty, integrity and compassion.

Full statement



These have been missing from our politics for too long. Now at long last we can try and change that.

Newark residents have a chance to reject unequivocally the politics of hate and instead to embrace the politics of hope.

Whether it is saving the NHS, protecting the environment, stopping sewage dumping or tackling the cost of living crises, we have the answers.

The Conservative Party that once existed is now gone. In its place we have an extreme right-wing party seeking to fight culture wars. Most Newark residents are appalled by this. My message to them is that when your party changes it's time to change your party.

In this election a vote for the LibDems will ensure that we can have a real local champion here.
