Statement to voters
I am a former solider (Regimental Sergeant Major) who now runs several successful companies in the energy sector, and I know how to create jobs and build businesses from scratch.
Full statement
The Reform Party UK have graciously allowed me to stand unimpeded, so the people of Doncaster North have a real alternative, to the failed duopoly of Con-Lab. I will push back against mass immigration that is set to change our country forever. If you need foreign workers you issue a work visa, and they don't bring their family...This happens in every country, instead of giving passports out like sweeties. I will also fight the UK's totally unrealistic and unnecessary NET ZERO folly. It will bankrupt us! My priority for the people of Doncaster is to boost skills training for young people. Our bloated university sector needs to be slimmed down. Instead, greater investment is needed in apprenticeships and vocational skills – urgently required to re-build our industrial base. We need real jobs to produce real things.
