Statement to voters
I was born to a Bethnal Green family (Wilmot Street) and publican parents. I founded the commodity price indices upon which the international coal market is based. Until May 2020 I was Head of Risk Management for the world's largest energy company. These days, I work mostly as expert witness in energy litigation while keeping an eye on our little family gin brand. A cousin of ours, Lillian, died in the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster, I worked with the Stairway to Heaven Charity raising money for the monument you see in Bethnal Green Gardens. I was a Referendum Party supporter initially and actively campaigned for Vote Leave in the EU referendum of 2016. In March 2021, I authored the “Fairness in Publicly Funded Salaries” petition, a concept to salary-cap all publicly funded agencies in the UK at the level of the Prime Minister. I think the concept of Left vs Right in politics is long over, it’s now Common-Sense vs a Woke, Climate-Obsessed, Tax-Hiking elite. I see Reform UK as the home of common sense, and that’s what my constituents will get from me, along with hard work, efficiency and compassion.
