A Green MP for Christchurch

Climate Change is the biggest threat facing mankind, and we need to act now to avert complete climate chaos. I pledge to make climate action the central point of my general election campaign.

Other parties and the media will centre the debate around Brexit, however there can be no politics on a dead planet. I've passionately campaigned about climate change for many years before being elected to BCP council with climate action as one of my main priorities. Shortly after which, myself and Cllr Simon Bull proposed a motion to declare a climate emergency which passed with the support of all but one councillor.

Now is the time to take that message to parliament. 

I pledge to:

• Act urgently upon the climate emergency, as there are no politics on a dead planet.
• Support a peoples vote on Brexit, with an option to remain on the ballot.
• Defend our NHS, fight to maintain its public ownership, increase it's funding and treat mental and physical health equally.
• Stop austerity, it has not and will never work, and has only served to increase homelessness, increase food bank use, and increase the wealth of the 1%.
• Demand a reform to our voting system, with a fair proportional representation system, so that everyone in this country has their vote heard, and is represented in Westminster
