I have worked 30 years in industry, negotiating internationally and creating workable solutions that get delivered.

Full statement

In the last ten years, I shaped every company policy and led employee representation through many difficult times negotiating both individually and collectively to achieve the best outcome. I will work for you in the same way, with passion, compassion and careful consideration to create a better world.

I live in Letchworth Garden City and admire the concepts Ebenezer Howard espoused when he created the town; a smart way to harness private enterprise and social compassion for the common good.

Only the Green Party promises to introduce a Citizen’s Income providing every citizen with an unconditional, non-withdrawable basic income. This will enable citizens to have a more flexible approach to work, retirement and caring for others. It seeks to bring greater fairness to all, for the common good, and remove the iniquity that so often happens under Conservative policies. David Clapson starved to death in Stevenage, because of those policies. Vote Green for a better fairer future.

I believe we need to create energy security based on renewables not foreign fossil fuels. We have a wealth of natural energy all round us which we need to harness, store and use. Local solutions provide local jobs and less waste.

I have seen the other parties repeatedly take good ideas from the Green Party. A vote for Green counts, it is never wasted, other parties listen, learn and become greener.

The future is Green.
