We are the only party to lower taxes and recover taxes from multinationals to fund our policies. We are the only party to write policies which tackle the root causes of poverty.

We would raise £40.5bn on a 5% turnover tax on multinationals Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Starbucks, Shell etc, who send all their profits abroad to avoid paying Corporation Tax (it would be offset against Corporation Tax - so British companies would pay less).

We would stop public spending on ‘woke’ diversity schemes and partisan campaigns. Also remove some additional ‘social requirements’ for Government contracts which are costing £379bn2 per year, prioritising value for money. Slashing these by 10% would save about £37.9bn.

I'm married with 3 children. I co-founded a food bank in NW3 during lockdown which gave me oversight of vulnerable people and insight into their needs.

I've been involved with various out-reaches over the years including helping the homeless, supporting destitute women and refugees. I’ve campaigned on parental views being represented in school RSE. I’m a member of the SACRE committee in my area. I work part time as a designer.

In terms of lawmaking, the closer we align our laws with those of the creator, the more holistic the result. Only God’s laws (not man made laws) judge the thoughts and attitudes of the heart to restrain wrongdoing.
