    Together, we can win back South Dorset

    I know what it’s like to grow up with a Labour MP, and I know firsthand the difference a Labour Government makes. With your help, I want to champion my home town, defeat Richard Drax, and win back South Dorset.

    South Dorset is neglected by an MP who has been missing in action and seemingly willing to turn a blind eye to cronyism in Westminster. Our community deserves someone who will always stand up for us. I want to give South Dorset a strong voice in Parliament.

    My pledges to win back South Dorset

    Combat the cost of living crisis. I want to deliver targeted measures to support everyone struggling to get by. In 2024, nobody should be forced to choose between heating and eating.

    Build more affordable homes. I will campaign for more genuinely affordable homes to tackle Dorset’s housing crisis. Instead of more empty second homes, we need secure homes for families so they can put down roots.

    Deliver a world class NHS. After 14 years of Tory neglect, I will campaign to reopen key services at our community hospitals in Weymouth, Swanage and Portland; and I will campaign for mental health services and affordable social care in every community.

    Invest in public services and public transport. I will push for investment in our schools and early-years services, buses and railways, and our police and armed forces. We need well-funded services, not more Tory cuts.

    Tackle the Climate Emergency. Climate change is the biggest challenge facing us, but also an opportunity to rebuild our economy. I will campaign for high-skilled, green jobs across South Dorset. I will stand up against any attempts to frack across Purbeck.

    Stand up against sewage dumping. We must protect our Jurassic Coast from being trashed by oil spills and sewage dumps. I will continue my community campaign for tough new rules to stop water companies and big polluters acting with impunity.

    Clean up our politics. South Dorset is neglected by an MP who has been missing in action and seemingly willing to turn a blind eye to cronyism in Westminster. I will work to clean up our politics and give South Dorset a strong voice in Parliament.

    Fix our broken asylum system. I will campaign to fix our asylum system. The Conservatives are only interested in gimmicks and chasing headlines. I will campaign day and night to close down the costly and inhumane barge in Portland Harbour.

    Fundraise – I will fundraise all year and put every penny into running our biggest and most effective election campaign for more than a decade.

    Media – I will always be visible in the local press and take the fight to the Conservatives. I will offer a positive alternative to the failing Tories at every opportunity.

    Mobilise – I will build a team of activists across South Dorset to reconnect with every community. I’ll keep running ‘Big Campaign Days’ across the constituency.

    Profile – I will secure high profile visits to boost our campaign, and I will deliver extra resources and activists to help win back South Dorset.

    Digital – I will drive forward an innovative and professional social media campaign so we can spread our message to every town and village.

    Win – We need a Labour Government and a Labour MP in South Dorset. Together, we can win both.

    We're backing Lloyd

    It is time for Labour to once again offer South Dorset the possibility of an effective MP with our values. Lloyd has been out on the doorstep all year, listening to voters and connecting with communities across the constituency. He is getting us back in the game, taking the fight to the Tories, and as a candidate can lead our campaign to win back South Dorset at the general election. Good luck Lloyd!

    Having known Lloyd for a little while his passion and commitment is second to none, I believe Lloyd has our best chance of winning in South Dorset.

    It’s great to see Lloyd’s natural rapport when calling on people. He is keen to learn but already has good political nous, and would make a real difference for good. Go for it Lloyd!

    Labour Party Member, Radipole Tim West

    Having regularly been out campaigning with Lloyd in wards across South Dorset, I’ve seen how keen he is to listen to the concerns of constituents and to focus on the day-to-day things which matter to them. I’ve no doubt Lloyd will make an excellent constituency Member of Parliament, and I fully endorse his candidacy.

    Labour Party Member, Upwey & BroadweyByron Silver

    It’s great to see a younger candidate coming forward. Lloyd can connect with younger voters and engage with the challenges that matter most to us, giving us a voice at the next general election. At a time when so many young voters are disillusioned with the political process, this is invaluable. Best of luck Lloyd!

    Labour Party Member, Rodwell & WykeJames S

    Lloyd was born and raised in Weymouth. He would make an excellent local candidate who understands every corner of the constituency and the challenges we face. We need a Labour candidate like Lloyd who can hit the ground running.
