    Health and Social Care 

    As an MP, he would become one of the few MPs with health and social care senior commissioning management experience and will apply his skills to shape policy. Furthermore, he will stand up for older and disabled people that need constant community support, which will also fuel community jobs in Sutton and Cheam. 

    Education

    Education and special educational needs are what brought David into national politics. He believes that the poorest in society should be given extra resources to tackle educational inequalities. He will fight for young people to get vocational skills and qualifications from the age of 14. 

    Community

    As a charity leader, he believes in a community centred Britain where individuals are both celebrated and respected by their local authorities. He will be an efficient and hard-working constituency MP, fighting on local issues – more affordable housing, more joined up social and health care provision, a fair deal for all.  

    Civil Liberties

    As a national campaigner, David will keep civil liberties and human rights at the heart of our community agenda. He will defend the Human Rights Act from any opponents, also strengthen the Equality Act to make it more accessible and inclusive in our society without oppression or discrimination. 

    Green Environment

    As a Green Liberal Democrat, David will work with leading experts to tackle key issues affecting our rivers, lands and communities. As an MP, David will engage with local council and communities to make Sutton and Cheam a greener, cleaner and safer society with more affordable homes, leisure and community activities.
