Richard has worked alongside me for a decade. Every day I see how passionate he is about our community and how dedicated he is to standing up for South Manchester.
Cllr John Leech (Former MP for Manchester Withington)

Richard is standing for the Liberal Democrats to give people an alternative to a Labour Party in Manchester who take people for granted. The Conservatives can't win in here. Only the Liberal Democrats have beaten the Labour Party in Manchester Withington.

It means that you have the chance to vote for an MP who will stand up for our area. You can vote for an MP who is active and visible in our community. An MP that you can trust will keep in touch all year round and put South Manchester first.

Richard's priorities:

Real help with the cost-of-living crisis
Clean up the river Mersey
Action on climate change
Fix our NHS
Save our local businesses
