Thank you to everyone who put their trust in me.

To achieve nearly 10,000 votes is astonishing from a standing start. As we can all see, FPTP is stacked against entryism and millions feel, quite rightly, unrepresented and politically disenfranchised.

We will now professionalise and build the branch party. We will continue to positively put forward solutions to the problems this constituency and nation face.

Thank you once again. I’m genuinely humbled by the response throughout the campaign.
