Julian has stood for election as MP in Windsor several times, as he is loyal to this area and is dedicated to representing people across the whole constituency.
Julian Tisi will work hard in Parliament on issues that matter to you:
- Clean up our rivers and stop sewage dumping by taxing water companies, banning bosses’ big bonuses and creating a tough new regulator.
- Give you access to NHS health services when you need them: guarantee GP appointment within a week, reform NHS dentistry and put mental health on an equal footing with physical health.
- Fight back against the Cost of Living Crisis by building at least 150,000 social homes a year, extending free school meals & protecting the pensions triple-lock.
