It is a great honour to have been chosen by the people of Stratford-on-Avon as their Member of Parliament.
My message is a simple one. I believe that it is time for Change and a time for Leadership. Real leadership comes from understanding the needs and aspirations of the people we are here to serve. Politicians must stop seeing themselves as a special breed, destined to be "statesmen".
I will be someone who will put local people first, someone who will understand their problems, and represent and fight for their interests. My number one priority is to help people make the best of their lives.
