Welcome
Thank you for visiting my website.
I grew up in Cambridge, and have been involved with all aspects of our varied city; the Universities and students, the Council estates, the high-tech industry. I served as County Councillor for East Chesterton between 2001 and 2009, and was the Leader of the Liberal Democrats there. I am now a member of Liberty's national Council, working with Shami Chakrabarti and the rest of the team to defend our civil liberties. I am also a research scientist at the Cavendish Laboratory and a Fellow of Clare College.
I hope you will support me in my campaign to stand up for all of Cambridge, and our liberal, green, progressive and international values.
If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
Yours,
Julian
P.S. Feel free to browse around the site, but some highlights are:
An expert on DNA and Civil Liberty
As a member of Liberty’s national Council and with DNA as the subject of my research as a Cambridge academic, I advise Liberty on issues to do with the DNA database and identity fraud. You can find one of my most relevant articles here.
Representing all the facets of Cambridge
I can represent the diverse sections of our city.
• I am a fellow of Clare and was a student here, so I understand the university world and its needs. Find out my views on education and fees here.
• I represented East Chesterton on the County Council. It is one of Cambridge’s most socially-mixed wards with large council estates, fashionable newly-built flats and historic Old Chesterton. Read about my local record here.
• I have worked in Cambridge’s high-tech, knowledge economy. Read my take on the challenges facing Cambridge and its economy here and here.
Sharing Cambridge’s and the Lib Dems’ values
Cambridge’s next MP needs to represent the city’s values of liberalism and tolerance, concern for the environment, commitment to social justice, and a deep-seated belief in internationalism.
