I'm still your Candidate! We've seen countless Tory switchers, today another, I look forward to Natalie's support at the next General Election. Natalie has seen that only Labour has a plan to secure our borders, and build the homes we need.

I expect Brianna Ghey's mother went to Parliament today broken hearted, but with hope that her daughters life and tragic death can make a positive difference, (which it will). Instead she witnessed vile, divisive mocking from this awful PM. We deserve better than this!

Shocked and disappointed by the hustings yesterday. Service should be above political point scoring. My time as Royal Marines Commando is a privilege of a lifetime. It would be an honour to serve Plymouth in Parliament, as I served our nation before.
