I was born and raised in West London and moved to the West Midlands shortly after the 2008 recession.

Full statement

My experiences in a diverse socio-economic environment have fuelled my passion for individual liberties, personal responsibility, and limited government intervention.

Early Life and Education

I hold an Engineering degree, and, for a long time, I lived my life without paying much more attention to politics than most people. My interest in politics was piqued by the Brexit debate. It seemed like a clear choice, yet the government's handling of the issues made me sit up and pay attention. Since then, I've delved into political philosophy, particularly the works of Ludwig von Mises, Thomas Sowell, Ron Paul, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman. These intellectual pursuits have solidified my belief in the importance of free markets and individual freedoms as foundations of a prosperous society.

Career and Political Involvement

After graduation, I embarked on a career as a consultant engineer, gaining firsthand experience of the regulatory challenges faced by businesses. This professional background significantly shaped my advocacy for deregulation and economic liberalization. My transition into politics was driven by a desire to combat what I perceive as the overreach of government into citizens' lives and economic activities, exemplified by the events of 2020.

I first entered the political arena by standing for local council elections. In 2023, I stood for Reform UK, attracted by the party's commitment to challenging the status quo and its platform on Brexit and mass immigration. Now, I am standing for the first time as a parliamentary candidate, aiming to bring my libertarian principles to the national stage.

Political Platform and Vision

My political platform is built on the pillars of personal liberty, economic freedom, and pragmatic governance. I advocate for significant tax cuts, reduction in public spending, and the dismantling of unnecessary regulations that stifle entrepreneurship and innovation. My vision includes a reformed welfare system focused on empowering individuals through work incentives rather than dependency.

On social issues, I am a staunch defender of civil liberties. I support policies that protect freedom of speech, privacy rights, and individual autonomy.

Prospects

My blend of professional expertise and libertarian principles positions me as a transformative candidate within Reform UK. As I step onto the national stage, my vision for a leaner, more responsive government resonates with an increasing number of voters disillusioned with traditional political offerings. I am not just a candidate; I am part of a movement for a freer, more prosperous Britain.
