"I am honoured to have been selected as the Conservative Candidate for Holborn and St Pancras. This is the community where I have lived, raised my family, and call home.
From Georgian terraces, squares and the Regent's Canal to the Knowledge Quarter's research, AI and science organisations today, Holborn and St Pancras have enormous potential that, with the right political leadership, can become an even better place to live, work and belong. We need a Member of Parliament focused on safer streets, more family homes and cutting the cost of living.
While families are leaving Holborn & St Pancras, the Green leader wants to talk about Gaza. Holborn & St Pancras has recently endured a 'Never Here MP'. We do not want another one!
Under Kemi Badenoch's leadership, the Conservative Party has changed; we have clear, fully costed plans to recruit 10,000 more police officers, scrap stamp duty on family homes and cut bills with our Cheap Power Plan.
That is the message I look forward to campaigning on over the next coming weeks.”
Statement supplied by the candidate to Democracy Club, reproduced unedited.
