“In Simon's own words
“I am shocked, appalled, and quite frankly, scared, at the accelerating inequality and environmental breakdown unfolding before our eyes. So I feel that I must do something positive to support our community and our planet. That’s why I am standing to become a Councillor in Weetwood.”
“As your Councillor I will work to ensure that:”
“* the wealthiest pay their fair share”
“* our NHS and schools are protected”
“* we are kind to immigrants, instead of demonising them ”
“* the natural world is prioritised”
“* the most vulnerable in society are looked after, and”
“* we put an end to politics-as-usual that is doing nothing to stop our declining living standards.”
“The Greens, and I, are here to provide a new, hopeful, kind politics that’s focused on solving our problems collectively.”
“If I become the next Weetwood Councillor I will stick up for my neighbours, and I will stand up to corporate interests.”
