I live in Witney with my Wife, Alexandra and have lived in the Constituency all my life.

Full statement

I have run my own Accountancy business for the last 26 years.

I served as a District Councillor in West Oxfordshire for 15 years from 2007-2022, firstly as a Conservative, and then as an Independent. For most of that time I served on the Council’s Cabinet, holding every role apart from Housing. I also served as a County Councillor for 4 years at Oxfordshire County Council.

I was also the Conservative Constituency Chairman here, working closely with our Member of Parliament, David Cameron, whilst he was Prime Minister.

It has become clear to me that the Conservatives no longer stand for the values I believe in, and can no longer be said to be Conservative in any meaningful sense.

In my opinion, Parliament has become undemocratic and totally detached from the views of the majority of people it is meant to serve.

Only Reform UK stands for the Freedom I believe in, and has the Policies our Country so desperately needs, and only Reform UK can take our Country out of the mess it is currently in.

I believe that Reform UK have the values, ethics and policies to take our Country forward into a positive and exciting future - a Country that values traditions and history, alongside a strong sense of diversity and inclusivity, with a love of Liberty alongside responsibility.

I have always been passionate about personal freedom and choice, allied with a powerful sense of Community, and I am excited to take this vision forward in Witney and look forward immensely to the challenge.

Please join me in the battle to Reform our wonderful Country.
