Statement to voters

I have been married for 35 years and have three grown up children.

Full statement

I brought them up to be kind, considerate people and to respect the environment. Family values are important to me.
I’m proud to have been asked to stand for Leicester East because it is a diverse area with people living in mixed communities. This shows that we shouldn’t be afraid of migration and freedom of movement.
I feel passionately about keeping fossil fuels in the ground and developing renewable energy. We know that if we are to tackle climate change, we need to leave 80% of fossil fuel in the ground. I feel we must encourage companies to withdraw their money from fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy.
This Government says that it gives local authorities more power but they are stripping their funding, making it difficult for them to keep local services running. They are passing on the blame for the loss of public services.
If I am elected, I will stand up for freedom of movement, action to tackle climate change and better funding for local authorities because I believe these things make life better for all of us.
