Key plans:
As a candidate for Ealing North, I offer a fresh perspective and a commitment to bridging political divides to deliver real change for our community. My unique pledges aim to appeal to people who do not usually vote as I count on you to make real change this time, and both Labour and Conservative voters, as we have been let down by both parties, addressing the failures of both parties while offering innovative solutions. I pledge to you that you will always be the number one priority when I am in Westminster, as I have no party to put first as we all have badly encountered during the last few years where our MPs failed on all counts, including local, national and international affairs such as having unjustifiable and unfair foreign policy and the blockage of an immediate ceasefire in conflict zones including Gaza where many thousands of innocent people died.
We cannot allow this to happen as we, as residents in Ealing North throughout Greenford, Northolt, Perivale, Hanwell and other surrounding areas, have been taken for granted with the Labour Party’s assumption that we are a safe seat to them where they could parachute self-serving and self-entitled figures that did not live in our locality nor had interest. Still, they only saw Ealing North and surrounding areas as an opportunity to serve their political interests to put the party first and local people as the last on the list if they were included. Our vote is not represented in Parliament in the best interest of our locality, and this needs to change.
My manifesto represents a comprehensive understanding of our community's challenges in Ealing North, where I have ongoing discussions and interactions with local community members. I have been living within Ealing North for about 15 years and have experienced the struggles and the managed decline of our public services. My manifesto is developing based on ongoing dialogue and thorough systematic analysis of the ongoing failures of both the Labour and Conservative parties. However, my plan is not set in stone. I am committed to continuous improvement, refining it based on your input to deliver actionable solutions for genuine transformation I can take forward to our parliament in Westminster.

03.
— Fair Foreign Policy and Immediate Ceasefires
- Gaza united us all and made us all rethink how and why we vote to have representatives. In simple words, Conservative and Labour MPs failed us and simply allowed the killing of innocent people to keep going by either voting against or simply turning a blind eye to the whole matter – Remember, they put the party first, and we were last on their list. Accordingly, I will:
-
- Advocate for fair foreign policies that prioritise human rights and promote peace and stability in conflict zones.
- Work to raise awareness about the importance of immediate ceasefires in conflict areas, such as Gaza, and push for diplomatic efforts to achieve lasting peace agreements.

- Secure funding for additional police resources, including increased patrols and improved lighting in high-crime areas.
- Support community-based initiatives to prevent crime, such as neighbourhood watch programs and youth outreach initiatives.
Â
05.

- Advocate for increased funding for maintaining and repairing roads and public transport facilities in Ealing North.
- Promote sustainable transportation options, such as walking, cycling, and public transit, to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.
- Ask for additional investments in local transport stations in areas such as Greenford, Perivale, and Northolt, including modern elevators and improved accessibility for disabled individuals.
06.
— Enhance the quality of our publicly funded education system
- Schools are being let down by self-interested politicians in both parties. We can not gamble with the future of our children. We can not expect parents struggling with the cost of living increases to pay for meals and basic children’s rights to education.
-
- Work with local schools and educational authorities to address any issues affecting the quality of education in Ealing North, such as funding constraints or staffing shortages.
- Advocate for increased investment in educational resources, including school facilities, meals, teaching staff, and extracurricular activities.
- Support initiatives to improve access to educational opportunities for disadvantaged students in Ealing North.

- Advocate for improving air quality in Ealing North, such as implementing low-emission zones, promoting electric vehicle usage, and investing in green infrastructure.
-
- Push and support any efforts in Westminster to stop or redefine the money-collection ULEZ scheme proposed by the Labour Mayor, as it became a fight against car owners rather than having it positively reduce emissions.
- Support initiatives to protect and preserve green spaces in Ealing North, including the creation of new parks and the enhancement of existing green areas.
- Promote sustainable waste management practices, including recycling programs and initiatives to reduce single-use plastics and other pollutants. The Labour-run council systematically aimed to reduce funding for key recycling facilities, and this can not continue.

- Ensuring that higher education institutions have additional scrutiny with quality assurance measures connected to value for money and the requirements of local needs, business, and skills to maintain a leading global position for the British higher education system.
13.
— Clear Immigration Policy
- Both parties failed to find a balanced approach.Â
- Advocate for developing a clear immigration policy that balances the UK's needs with humanitarian considerations, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to control immigration while welcoming individuals who contribute positively to society.
14.
— Nationalisation of Key Public Services
- Â I will stand firmly against privatisation, where both parties always aim to bring their friends in the private sector to have thick contracts funded by our tax. We need to protect our NHS and other key public services.
- Support the nationalisation of key public services, such as healthcare, transportation, and utilities, to ensure that essential services are accessible to all residents and are not subject to profit-driven motives.
15.
— Talent and Skills Development for Youths
- Â Support funded initiatives and support funding for college students.
- Offer more public support for talent and skills development programs for youths in Ealing North, including vocational training, apprenticeships, and mentorship programs, to equip them with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in the workforce.
