GLA - North East London Assembly Constituency
Biography:
I was born in Bethnal Green Hospital and my father’s family are from just off the Hackney Road. I worked as a civil servant for cabinet ministers and in Parliament and subsequently represented the energy industry in media, government and Parliaments. A key part of this was championing the role for gas in our energy mix. As a result I am a strong critic of Tory Net Zero policy and don’t believe we should be ripping out our gas boilers. I’m also standing in the next General Election in Poplar and Limehouse.
I would bin all the unnecessary traffic restrictions imposed across London. With violent crime rising I believe the police should be policing our streets not social media.
The London Assembly constituency of North East comprises the London Boroughs of Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. It has always been Labour but things are changing. With the imposition of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, road restrictions and 20mph zones all without consultation communities are speaking up. They will not put up with ambulances not making it through to patients and bus routes being slowed to a crawl. We need change and a voice of sanity in City Hall.
