about my expenses
To stand for election takes money but not necessarily very much. To start with, there is the £500 deposit, which I will get back if I gain at least 5% of the vote. The rest is taken up in publicity, administration and travel costs.
As I am part standing because of the expenses scandal, albeit that was the motivation to stand not the policy by which I am standing. I vowed to make my expenses and donations as transparent as possible so you will be able to download the latest snapshot from this web page. Please be aware that this is a snapshot in time and although I am endeavouring to publish a snapshot every time the expenses sheet is updated, it may not necessarily be right up to the minute. My aim is to ensure that it is never more than 24hrs behind.
All I ask is that you do not modify it in any way and you do not publish it anywhere without my express permission.

Please note: These expenses and donations are also registered with the Electoral Commission, to comply with the law, and although they are declared "expenses" I do not actually get any of the money back. I am largely self funded with donations from a few supporters.
