| Info | I’ve worked in a wide range of jobs over the years, ranging from window cleaning to higher education, but I currently work from home alongside my wife as an English tutor.
We live in the Eden Valley. It’s a great place to live, and I want to keep it that way, whilst offering residents the prospect of a better future, rather than one dominated by debt, decline and increasing restrictions on personal liberties. As you’ll be all too aware, the country as a whole is in a mess, and there’s a lot to sort out. My priorities for Penrith and Solway are:
- Guaranteeing a future for our livestock farmers, with fair pricing and procurement policies tailored to support local sourcing of food where possible
- Support for family life, with a fully shareable tax allowance for couples with dependent children
- Preferential access to new social housing for British married couples and veterans
- Meaningful vocational training for young people leading to well-paid and secure employment, rather than the default route to university to accrue debt and study dead-end degrees; there will be incentives to train as doctors, nurses and clinicians, thereby expanding our own professional workforce rather than importing labour
- Ensuring that householders maintain their right to heat their homes as they wish, including by oil, LPG and solid fuels for off-grid properties
- Ensuring an adequate supply of sympathetically-built council housing to cater for local demand and make housing affordable
We’re a common-sense party: we know that a woman is an adult human female, and respect women’s rights, women’s sports and women’s spaces. We know that this country’s reliance upon unsustainable debt cannot continue forever: we need to pay our way in the world, and so support the reshoring of industry and revitalising manufacturing.
We believe in strong borders, and that there is no higher political authority than the nation-state, and thus reject the mainstream’s plea for open borders. We wish to see immigration slashed to only that which is truly essential – no more than 50,000 per year – and we will automatically reject any claim to asylum made by anyone who breaches our borders illegally. Such people will be taken to a British offshore territory for processing, and then deported to their country of origin.
We believe in equality before the law, not in privileges for minorities on the basis of ‘protected characteristics’.
We are for state intervention where required, such as in nurturing strategically vital industries: we don’t want a big state; we want an effective one.
We believe in freedom of speech.
