In Khalid's own words

**They want to confuse you by endorsing all kinds of weird causes, so you forget what's really at stake: you.**

As the Greens, LibDems and Labour, the parties that dominate Cambridge, sink more and more into populist stunts and extreme ideology, what do you think about it? What hopes can you have for your future, your family’s future, your security...when it all lies in the hands of people who are trying to impress their fans through irrational, foolish acts bordering on sedition?

How safe are your interests in their hands? While you despair about the potholes, crime and dismal infrastructure in your areas, they are screaming at demonstrations in solidarity with various dodgy overseas organisations and regimes, dancing with strippers, clowning around.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people in our ward who are very worried. The only way to overcome this is: **don’t put your future in their hands.**

You've voted for them for years, but lately they have grown feral. Your needs, your concerns, your future? Not interesting. They have bigger fish to fry. Have you seen their antics? The things they say, sometimes behind closed doors, sometimes not? The people they associate with? Do you still think you can trust them? Perhaps you haven’t seen or heard? Would you care to look into it? You’ll be shocked! Do your research, ask around: it’s all out there. Time for a change, before it’s too late. Democracy is not about picking your favourite team or colour. It’s about ensuring you are represented by people who will fight your corner.

Trust me, I’m a doctor. I’ve been fighting for people’s lives for 25 years.

Vote for me, Dr. Khalid, on 7 May 2026. I’m not for any party. I’m Independent. For Castle, for our community, our families, our future.
