In Rob's own words

I was born in Leeds and spent my entire childhood living in Headingley and going to local schools, so I’m not some fake Westminster import here to advance their career, I know and love Leeds.

I’ve worked for leading law firms, and in medicine and psychology research. I have many years of experience in setting up and directing successful wellbeing and sporting initiatives.

I’ll be here for the whole constituency, I will make sure that the people of Tinshill, Ireland Wood, Hawksworth, Kirkstall, Burley and Woodhouse have a champion in parliament. If you vote for me to be your representative, you will see me regularly, I won’t become an invisible man.

The Headingley I grew up in had less vomit on the street. I’d take action to reduce antisocial behaviour and bring back self-respect. I want the whole constituency to be a vibrant and joyful place to live and start a family.

Unlike Labour, Reform & the others I, along with the Social Democratic Party, will not betray the wishes of the people.

My priorities for the constituency would be:

1. Reducing housing and energy costs so your children can have hope for the future and the elderly can have the dignity they deserve.

2. Protecting Green Spaces for both nature and the enjoyment of the public. I walk in Meanwood Valley every day and I know how much it adds to our quality of life.

3. Improving public transport while keeping costs as low as possible.
