Labour came third in 2010 and can’t win here. Your real choice is between the Conservative and me.

I was born and raised in Essex and I’m from an ordinary background.

I’m not a career politician and I’ve never worked in PR!

I’ve made my way in a tough profession – the law – which I’ve helped to reform.  I’ve represented people from all walks of life. I’m well qualified to be your MP. From litigator to legislator!

I have a button in my brain marked It’s Not Fair. Once it’s pressed I go on battling the unfairness. It’s how I am.

I want five new Green Laws for a sustainable future with zero carbon by 2050.  I want a stronger economy and fairer society.

I’m proud of Lib Dem policies such as the pupil premium that’s meant nearly £5.7 million for schools here.

I’ll support investing £8 billion extra per year in the NHS.

The Conservatives plan agonising cuts in the next few years, meaning they can’t defend the NHS or public services.

The Conservatives want tax cuts for the rich. I want more tax cuts for ordinary people.

The Conservatives deregulated the banks and started the slide towards the banking crisis. They and Labour failed to spot disaster coming. Why reward failure?
