I am standing as an independent candidate in Margate.

Full statement

I am standing on my record of 8 years of fighting for Margate .

I am independent of any national political parties and MPs. I am a servant of residents of Margate not a mouthpiece of national governments. I will continue to support local people fighting for a better future and believe in prosperity not austerity for people.

I resigned from the Labour Party because they deserted the people who voted for them by causing misery, for example taking away for the majority of pensioners their winter fuel allowances.

I will continue to work cross party to defend Margate . I will continue to highlight how money is wasted (Thanet Parkway which both Labour and Tories supported).

I will fight to save vital services such as the Millmead children centre. I will answer my emails and phone promptly. I have a proven record of someone you can trust.
