“As a committed European, I will fight for our place in Europe along with much-needed political reforms at Westminster, which are currently being denied by both the Conservatives and Labour.

“I look forward to giving everyone across the constituency a voice, no matter their age, gender, ethnicity or sexuality. People are fed up with their vote being taken for granted – they deserve better.”
