You’ve seen the polls. You’ve heard the commentators. You know who they say is going to be the next government.
If Keir Starmer is Prime Minister, your values and your priorities will need a voice. You will need an MP who will stand up to a Labour Government and stand up to Sadiq Khan.
A Labour MP would not do that but I will.
Over the last 19 years, I’ve worked with local people to get things done for Barnet. Protecting the green belt, stopping Sadiq Khan building flats over station car parks, saving local nursery schools under threat, delivering more police, more apprenticeships and more GP appointments. We’re making progress. But there is more to be done.
We need to continue the fight against anti-car measures from Sadiq Khan, like Ulez expansion and new bus lanes. And we can’t give up on the campaign to save Barnet police station. We must stop Sadiq Khan selling it off because we need police to be visible and present right here in our community. We can’t afford a Labour MP who’ll be on Sadiq Khan’s side not ours.
If Keir Starmer is Prime Minister, I will be your voice, holding him to account and standing up for our values: lower taxes, more police, a bigger NHS, and common sense in classrooms.
I know you might not agree with everything the Conservatives have done. I know you feel frustrated. But despite the shocks caused by Covid and the Ukraine war, our plan for the economy is already delivering falling inflation, rising wages, rising pensions, falling energy bills, four million more people in work and a tax cut of £900.
And if you vote Labour or Reform and hand Keir Starmer the supermajority he wants, you’ll be locking yourself out of government for years to come.
With a majority bigger than Tony Blair’s, do you think Starmer will feel the need to listen to you? Do you think he’ll care about your priorities or your values?
You’ll be handing Labour a blank cheque to do whatever they want, courtesy of your savings.
They want to build on the green belt and ignore local views on planning. Their manifesto would give us the biggest tax burden in history. They would introduce French-style union laws, banning flexible work and risking jobs. And they would inevitably push through with yet more anti-car measures because that is what they are already doing where they are in power in City Hall and in Wales. Maybe even a Pay-Per-Mile Road Tax would be on the cards.
Keir Starmer has confirmed he’ll give votes to 16-year-olds and has said before that he even wants to give votes to EU citizens. He wants to change the rules of our system so Labour can stay in power for longer. And that could leave you without a voice, not just for the next five years, but for a decade or more.
You can have a voice in Parliament standing up for you. But you need to vote for it.
If you don’t vote to stop Labour in Barnet you’ll have no voice, because they’ll have a huge majority and they won’t need to pay attention to you. And you will have a Labour MP who will just go along with whatever Sadiq Khan wants.
And whether it’s fair or not, Reform can’t be your voice because they are highly unlikely to win any seats (maybe one or two at most).
The only way to guarantee that you’ll have a voice in the next parliament is to vote Conservative one more time.
So I’m asking you to think before you hand over your future to Keir Starmer. Don’t give him that supermajority. Please vote for me on 4th July.
Best wishes

I'm backing Theresa Villiers for Barnet!
Local people explain why they are backing the campaign to re-elect Theresa Villiers as MP for Chipping Barnet to provide a strong voice for our area.
"We are so lucky to have had Theresa Villiers as our MP for 19 years. And I can say she is one of the most attentive and dedicated MPs. Theresa listens to everyone, ensuring every voice in our community is heard. Her commitment to addressing our concerns and making a real difference is truly inspiring. I will be voting for her,” Anila Skeja, East Barnet resident. Read more…
Our plan for the economy and higher living standards
This country has faced unprecedented shocks to our economy during these past few years as a result of Covid and the energy price hike. I know cost of living pressures continues to cause hardship and I will always work to try to keep inflation down and get living standards up. Read more…
Safer streets with 8000 more beat cops!
The Met now has more officers than ever before and the Conservatives will deliver even more police for local neighbourhood teams. I have been campaigning to save Barnet police station. Sadiq Khan shut the front desk, and now he wants the police station to be sold off for redevelopment and the officers moved out.
If I am re-elected, I would do everything I can to stop that. I will stand up to Sadiq. A Labour MP would not do that. He would be standing up for what Mayor Khan wants not what we want here in Barnet. That is the choice at the general election. Read more…
Protecting nature and our environment
Throughout my years in elected office, I have supported environmental causes, both locally and nationally. I presented the landmark Environment Bill to Parliament to set legally binding targets on restoring nature and I helped pioneer new farm support schemes which will boost tree planting, biodiversity and habitats. Read more…
Boosting social mobility through apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a crucial way to give young people the skills they need to get well paid jobs and great careers. They provide a ladder of opportunity to get on in life and achieve your ambitions. I have worked to expand access to apprenticeships whilst serving as MP for Chipping Barnet. Labour’s policies would see a cut of over 40% in apprenticeships. Read more…
Action to support Israel and the Jewish community
I have a track record going back many years of supporting the Jewish community and Israel. I have repeatedly spoken out against antisemitism. I have been even more active and vocal since the horrors of 7th October took place.
I was a member of the Cabinet that signed off the annual, now £18 million, security fund to protect Jewish schools and other community premises. In February, Prime Minister Sunak announced £54 million of new, additional funding to the Community Security Trust (CST) as part of the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant.
I have been a committed defender of shechita, stopping regulatory changes that might have increased the cost of kosher meat. Read more…
Villiers backs pledge on Cyprus
For over two decades I have supported Cypriots in their efforts to find a settlement to reunite their island on the basis of UN resolutions and in a way which protects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus. I strongly believe that a settlement would benefit both sides. That is why I support a free and united Cyprus and can back these pledges. No other candidate can match my record of commitment on this issue. Read more…
Further information about my track record and what I will deliver for Barnet if re-elected can be found on the News page of my website here. That includes articles on schools, scrapping Ulez expansion, boosting the NHS, and defending the green belt.
