Welcome to my website. I hope it will tell you all about me, what I believe in and why Carlisle would be better off with me as its Conservative MP after the next General Election.

Carlisle is a terrific place in which to live and work, but I believe it could be even better. And that is why I want to represent it at Westminster.

I want to help Carlisle to live up to its enormous potential so that its people can thrive and prosper and achieve all the things they should be able to achieve in the 21^st century.

I believe the basic Conservative principles of freedom, opportunity, choice, personal responsibility and the rule of law are the foundation stones upon which my dream for Carlisle – and for Britain as a whole - can be built.

We need high standards in our schools and our hospitals, safety on our streets and in our communities, and a strong economy to help our people live the lives they want to live.

That is what I believe in. And that is what I will fight for if – or, I believe, when, I become your MP.
