Richard Hewison
Rejoin EU candidate for Whetstone
Having lived in Chipping Barnet for 24 years now, I am frustrated there is no-one else I can vote for in our constituency prepared to address the elephant in the room head on. Brexit is destroying jobs, fuelling the cost-of-living crisis and making travel harder for all of us. It must be reversed.
