Patricia Mary Ward is standing again for UKIP in Putney. The party has withdrawn candidates from constituencies in which the Conservative standing voted to leave the EU in the Referendum but Justine Greening was a remainer.

She said on her announcement, "Only UKIP wholly embraces prevailing national Eurosceptic sentiment. One year after the referendum, project-fear politicians still allow the EU to raid our resources; pressurise public services; and pick UK-taxpayer pockets even as EU accounts remain audited.

She advocates immediately regaining sovereignty via repeal of the European Communities Act,1972, instead of the route she describes as: "going via the unnecessary, costly, drawn-out Hokey Cokey Brexit negotiations the predominantly remain-campaign cabinet is embroiled in."

She told this website that she is standing against local candidates with, "limited real-world experience who campaigned for remain on the basis of negative predictions that have proven laughingly groundless. Conservative remainers got on the wrong side of the Brexit argument, and now they expect us to trust them to take the UK out of the club they want to remain in."

"We need a common sense, Putney and wider UK-community supporting MP. Putney does not need another EU supporting MP who allows local workers to be displaced in favour of migrants who do not have to be in the UK; who send UK earnings overseas; and who, with accompanying dependents, put pressure on local services, amenities and budgets. We should love our global neighbours, but no longer at the expense of our local community which needs homes, health, education, jobs, career development and all the benefits and freedoms our socially responsible nation has for generations worked and died for."
