“It was so nice to see Ms Villiers having a mobile surgery today. I spotted her outside Tesco's near my house and stopped for a quick chat, mainly to thank her about a meeting she'd attended a couple of years ago regarding an issue of concern in our neighbourhood and to give her an update. She was so lovely, pleasant and humble and she genuinely impressed me with how approachable she is. I have to say that the main (but not the only) reason for this testimonial, is that it's really refreshing seeing a politician out and about, mixing with their constituents, taking the initiative to actively reach out and hear their concerns, etc, at a time other than during an election campaign. Despite not agreeing with all of her views/position on a certain subject of national importance, her work as my local MP for the last few years has been very good. She's demonstrated that she's interested about her constituents' problems/concerns/issues within their local area and that is genuinely very appreciated which is why, despite that aforementioned difference of opinion, I was very happy to vote for her last year and, after seeing her trying to reach her constituents today, I'm glad that I did! Keep up the good work and many thanks once again!” A.D. Friern Barnet resident August 2020.
"As a teacher, I fully endorse Theresa Villiers as an advocate for education. Her commitments and achievements to date speak for themselves here. She is committed to investing in our schools and I have been proud to campaign with her on the Chipping Barnet doorsteps since this election campaign started. Jeremy Corbyn would be a disaster for our education system. His crusade against independent and grammar schools would place unprecedented pressure on all our schools, stretching resources to their limit whilst punishing hard working families with crippling taxes. A vote for Theresa and the Conservatives will stop the Labour Party from wrecking our local community, allowing her to serve our constituency and continue the outstanding work she has done for the past fifteen years. Harvey Ross, Teacher and Chipping Barnet resident
“Theresa has been a fantastic MP for the people of Chipping Barnet. As a local resident herself, she is completely community minded, has always been a brilliant advocate for local residents and is always willing to lend a hand.

I would encourage people vote for her so that we continue to have a strong voice to represent us in Parliament.” Gail Laser, local entrepreneur and High Barnet resident

She has been a superb MP serving the people of Chipping Barnet. I wish her every success”. Dr. S.P. Subedi, Underhill resident
“My husband and I have known Theresa since 2008. She was willing to listen to the problems of the Tamil Community and once she had fully understood our plight, she did everything in her power to support us. She has visited the UN with the team from the British Tamils Forum, to help them highlight the human rights issues that the Tamils have back in Sri Lanka. Theresa attends many Tamil Community events to show us her support. Theresa is now, known well amongst the community as a champion of the Tamil people. Theresa is an honest, sincere and hardworking MP. What impresses me most, about Theresa, is that, she has time for her constituents and is very approachable, making everyone feel comfortable, so that they are able to talk to her about any issue. We wish her the very best.” Thaksha Ravikulan, East Barnet resident
“My name is Adele Winston, I live in Barnet and I have been a life long member of the Labour party and I am now supporting Theresa Villiers and the Conservatives because of the very real threat perceived by my community, the Jewish community from Jeremy Corbyn and the disgraceful way he has refused point blank to tackle the threat of anti-Semitism in the Labour party. Theresa has always been very supportive of our community, can be trusted to continue to do that and on December 12th I’m voting for Theresa and the Conservatives.” Adele Winston, Barnet resident and former member of the Labour party

I’m urging you to re-elect Theresa Villiers as Member of Parliament for Chipping Barnet on the 12th of December. Theresa knows this constituency inside out, she understands the needs of its communities. I know that Theresa has a fantastic local plan for Barnet she wants, more funding for our hospitals, more nurses, more funding for schools, business rates cute to help our local high streets, campaigning against overdevelopment at High Barnet underground station. Theresa and the Conservatives are absolutely the right people to represent this seat. Theresa has stood up for communities right across this seat, for the Jewish community, the Tamil community, the Cypriot community and for many many more. And for me I know that the Conservatives will allow hard working people across the country to pay less tax and keep more of what they earn. Daniel Cohen, Hadley resident
“As a member of British Hindu and Indian community in North London, we will be voting to return a strong Conservative government. Theresa Villiers, has championed and supported causes of the British Hindus and British Indian community locally and nationally and has spoken in Parliament on issues of concern to us. Theresa has endorsed the importance of strong ties of friendship, trade, and culture between India and the UK.
