I'm standing as a candidate because the Green Party are offering an achievable vision through a path to social justice, fairness, practical solutions and hope.

Full statement

I've had a varied life working in the education sector, in business both as employed and self-employed and as a community volunteer. I have seen over the years the various Governments' promises of 'change' come and go leaving us disillusioned, poorer and at times broken. Our Green policies are driven by confronting the struggles that face us all and our only home: the Earth. We must have people in parliament who fight for their constituents, are honest with the voters and hold the powerful to account.
