In the May 2026 local elections, I am running as an independent candidate, putting King's Hedges first.
I was born and brought up here, in a council house near the Ship pub, and I still live here. My role on the city council will be serving the area of King's Hedges and its people.
I have no party whip to follow.
I am a member of Your Party and I fully align with the Party Principles. I am proud to have the backing of Your Party to stand as an independent in these local elections. Click here to see the full list of Your Party Backed candidates.
Your Party is a new member-led party. Together we will be able to improve lives for the many and not just for the few, on a national level as well as local.
The Party Principles are reproduced below, and also available here, as ratified at conference, in Section 2 of our Constitution, and in our Polictical Statement.
Your Party is a democratic, member-led socialist party that stands for social justice, peace and international solidarity.
Our goal is the transfer of wealth and power, now concentrated in the hands of the few, to the overwhelming majority in a democratic, socialist society.
Our task is to build a mass party for the many, rooted in the broadest possible social alliance, with the working class at its heart.
Our aim is to win elections with a popular programme of action for real change, but also to transform our country, in the interests of the many, not the few.
We seek to change the balance of power at every level of society, by organising and campaigning in communities and workplaces, in trade unions and social movements, across the nations and regions.
Your Party is committed to equality across our society. We oppose all forms of prejudice, oppression, discrimination and scapegoating, which are weaponised by ruling elites to divide people and communities.
We reject a capitalist order that is responsible for grotesque levels of inequality both at home and abroad. We favour the extension of democracy over the economy, including the public ownership of key sectors and services.
The same economic order that exploits people is destroying the planet, fuelling the climate crisis that threatens us all. Your Party stands for environmental justice.
We oppose the global system of imperial domination and colonisation, and support movements for national liberation and self-determination. We stand against militarism and for a world free of nuclear weapons.
Your Party stands for freedom—from poverty, exploitation and war—and in defence of democratic rights and liberties.
Billionaires and corporations are now in control of our country. Your Party aims at its democratic and socialist transformation: by redistributing that power and wealth to all.
