Holborn & St Pancras Conservatives

Homeowners. You worked hard for your property. Don’t sleepwalk into taxes that might have an impact on what you’ve built up. Inheritance tax, stamp duty, CGT…it’s all in play with a Labour government. If that’s what you want, fine. If it isn’t, vote Conservative.

I’m Joanna Reeves, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Hackney South and Shoreditch. This area is in my DNA and I feel like I am coming home. My Grandfather, his parents and siblings lived in one room in London Fields in the 1920s. Creativity and technology have had a massive positive economic impact on the area and its people. I will work to ensure this continues. My Vision is to embrace these opportunities, for instance, with the use of AI to streamline services and local government. This area is a hotbed of creativity and entrepreneurship which I find exciting, countless examples of people fulfilling their potential and being unlimited. In order for democracy to work there has to be choice and hope. I thank you in advance for your kindness and for permitting me this opportunity to take part in the democratic process. I feel blessed and grateful to be running in such as forward-thinking part of London. Vote for me, Joanna Reeves, if you share a vision of hope and opportunity.

Teachers across the country change lives every single day. Today, I'm grateful for the teachers who helped me, inspired me and gave me the tools to succeed. With our Plan for Change, we're recruiting more teachers into schools to give all children the best start in life.

In January, Keir Starmer shamefully smeared people like me calling for an inquiry into the rape gang cover-up as ‘far right.’ Now, faced with the vote we scheduled next week in Parliament and an external report, Starmer has finally capitulated. Not because he wants to do the right thing - but because he’s been forced to. Starmer must now apologise for needlessly keeping victims waiting another six months and apologise for smearing and insulting campaigners. It is vital the inquiry has full statutory powers to compel the production of evidence, and looks at every aspect of the cover up. Those in authority deliberately covered up the systematic rape of thousands of girls as young as 10 because the perpetrators were mainly of Pakistani origin. They thought race relations were more important than protecting young girls. The truth must now come out and people in positions of authority responsible for the cover up held to account. Those who who ignored or hid these crimes should go to prison for the offence of misconduct in public office. The victims who have been so badly let down deserve this justice.
