I am once again fighting fit - I have to be as I am desperately trying to win an election to become an MP. some might think this is strange but I promise if I get into the house my maiden speech will be on invisible diseases and in particular PBC. So if you live in New Forest East - please Vote Hope

It’s good to know you are fit and well. I don’t live that far south to vote , good luck though.

I don’t think many of us will be able to afford our medication when the NHS is sold. It is a fight for our lives.

That’s great that you are running for election! I wish you all the best. How big of an area does an MP represent? How long is a term?

75000 voters in each constituency with a five year term of office. For me it is a long shot as safe Tory seat but you got to be in it to win it.

I admire those that step forward. May you be given the strength and endurance to fight the fight!

You'd get my vote if I were in your constituency! Best wishes for a good result on 12th, and best wishes for your health and strength to grow out of your concern for people with rare diseases.
