I have lived in Clacton for several years. I spent lots of time here, growing up with weekend caravans at Point Clear and Jaywick. Furthermore, I always dreamed of living by the sea in Clacton and was lucky enough to be able to buy a house here in semi-retirement. I grew up in East London, Bethnal Green. I was a black cab driver from my early twenties to my 40s. Then I went on to study and qualify as an integrative psychotherapist, and I set up practice several years ago. I am a father and a grandfather. The reason I am in politics is because I want my children and my grandchildren to grow up in a free, democratic, common-sense country like the U.K. used to be.

Since 1997, successive Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrats governments have brought this country to the point of ruin. To the point where ordinary professional people like myself can no longer stand by and watch this destruction by the Westminster elite. That is why I joined Reformparty.uk and will stand in Clacton to save the constituents and the country from more destruction.

Clacton is a wonderful place with some absolutely idyllic areas. But it’s not without its problems with poverty and poor quality areas. It has been continually starved of investment in services and infrastructure by the local Conservative government over the last decade.
