James is proud of the rich cultural heritage and history of the United Kingdom, which formed the monarchy, Parliament, and our common law system. He respects these institutions and wants any changes to be incremental to preserve their core characteristics.
As someone who has worked in business, and started their own, James understands that individuals, and their enterprises, are the lifeblood of the economy. To support wealth creators, James believes we should reduce regulation, lower taxes, and prioritise a lean state.
James was fortunate to grow up in a loving family environment, which provided a strong support structure. He believes that families are the essential unit of our society and, as Conservatives, we should do everything we can to nurture family values.
James attends his local crime ward panels and believes it is paramount that people feel safe in their communities, which requires a tough stance on law and order. Outside our borders, James wants a strong military to act as a deterrent in an increasingly unstable world.
Living with an eye condition, James knows that life can have its challenges. It has not dented his belief that individuals have the ability to shape their own future. He believes that it is vital that work pays. To this end, the state should provide a safety net, not a crutch.
