ALEX'S STORY

I’m Alex Just, your local candidate standing to be your next MP. 

I live in Farnham with my wife and three young children – our eldest attends our local state primary school.

I offer a new approach. I am a barrister, not a career politician – this is the first time I have run for public office.

After 14 years of the Conservatives and Lib Dems failing on so many of the big decisions, I cannot sit on the sidelines – there is too much we need to fix.

The country and our area needs a fresh start.

I have the energy, ideas and experience to get things done.

As a barrister, I’ve dedicated my career to standing up for working people and fighting to protect the rule of law.

As an education campaigner, I’ve worked with government and business, to give young people the skills they need to become confident communicators and respectful citizens.

Now I want to make a difference in the area I am proud to call home.

 I want to serve our community and bring some integrity, honesty, and courtesy back into politics.

And I can win here! The Sunday Times/Survation ‘Spring Megapoll’ shows Labour are just 4% behind the Conservatives and 5% ahead of the Lib Dems in our new constituency.

Do get in touch if you have any questions or would like me to come and talk to you and your neighbours.

MY RECORD

FIGHTING AGAINST LOCAL EDUCATION CUTS

I have been campaigning to raise awareness about the true extent of education cuts in our new constituency.

In total, schools in our area have suffered over £6.5m of budget cuts since 2010, averaging £422 per pupil.

We need to remember how badly the Tory and Lib Dem policy of austerity damaged our public services and impacted educational outcomes for our our children and young people.

GETTING ANSWERS ABOUT THE BORDON FUTURE SKILLS CENTRE

Through public advocacy, freedom of information requests, and private meetings I am trying to get answers about the closure of the Bordon Future Skills Centre.

We need all the facts before any decisions can be made about what to do next with this £4 million facility.

You can help me get answers from Hampshire County Council by completing our survey here.

CAMPAIGNING TO PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH

I am fighting against the expansion of private jet flights from Farnborough Airport and am working closely with Labour colleagues in Rushmoor to ensure residents in Farnham and Bordon have a meaningful say on future flight plans.

I have also been liaising with community groups who are measuring pollution in the River Wey. As your MP, I hope to work with local stakeholders to use new powers Labour will implement in government to make sure water companies clean up their act.

PROTECTING UK BUSINESSES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In 2020 I worked with senior judges and academics to launch a national campaign so UK businesses had 'breathing space' to resolve commercial disputes related to the pandemic.

The project worked with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution and guidelines were published in 7 languages to support lawyers around the globe who were responding to an unprecedented legal environment.

CHAMPIONING FREE SPEECH AND OPEN DEBATE GLOBALLY

For the last 20 years, I have fought to promote and protect free speech and encourage better public debate. That's why I will always fight misinformation.

I co-founded Vocalise - an education programme where trainee barristers teach prisoners and young offenders public speaking and debating skills. The project was awarded an Attorney General Pro Bono Award by Dominic Grieve KC in 2012.

SUPPORTING UKRAINIAN WOMEN IN THE UK

Alongside Baroness Elizabeth Smith, I developed and launched the John Smith Trust Ukrainian Women’s Leadership programme.

With the support of the University of Edinburgh University Business School we will help equip Ukrainian women living in the UK with the skills, insights, and networks to navigate Ukraine to a brighter future.
