A lot of people ask me what I stand for. Before any election, I set out my top six priorities for a better Britain, based on the personal convictions that brought me into politics:

I want lower taxes and less red tape, so Britain creates jobs and prosperity in a competitive world.

I want to take on monopolies, so small businesses can compete and customers have greater choice.

I want more free speech and less political correctness for a healthier democracy.

I want terrorists and criminals under surveillance, not all law-abiding citizens. We must protect the right balance between the requirements of security and personal privacy.

I want more ladders of opportunity, so youngsters from any background can be successful.

I want to strengthen your democratic voice – including by delivering on the EU referendum and through greater local democracy.
