I'm honoured to be representing the community that I love.

Full statement

I feel those in power have become complacent and it’s time that the people of this constituency were listened to. I hear the frustration and disillusionment in people’s voices when they talk of decisions made by the Labour-controlled Senedd, and the anger when they talk of how the Conservatives have betrayed voters in the last Westminster election.

I passionately believe that the Welsh Liberal Democrats can break the cycle of Labour/Tory failure. To those who like our policies but believe voting LibDem would be a wasted vote, I say – that’s exactly what Labour and the Conservatives want you to believe, and so the same old game will carry on. Improving this great country will take time, but the longest journey starts with the first step.
