I’m Tom Hunt and I am the Conservative Party candidate for Ipswich.

It has been the privilege of my life to be your Member of Parliament since 2019, a period of unprecedented change. And I am asking once again that you might lend me your vote.
We’ve experienced the global pandemic and the biggest war in mainland Europe since 1945. There have been joyous times too, most recently the dramatic elevation of Ipswich Town from League One to the Premier League. I’ve seen firsthand the tremendous selflessness of countless Ipswich residents who have never stopped inspiring me and making me feel humble to have been their representative.
I’m proud of my record of delivery over the past four and half years.
Looking ahead, my passion and determination to carry out representing the Town remains undiminished. I want to ensure the completion of many of the projects I’ve been closely associated with, but also to give voice to the views and concerns of the majority of Ipswich residents.
We’re turning a corner as a country and there are real signs that the difficult times we’ve experienced over the past few years are easing.
With UK growth outpacing many other G7 economies, the Conservatives have already cut £900 from average salary National Insurance, with a commitment to phase it out entirely for workers. And with the new Triple Lock Plus guarantee to pensioners to reduce their tax burden, there are real grounds for optimism. I’m reassured that this plan from the Prime Minister will ensure the country continues on a path of recovery and I do believe strongly that a Labour Government would put this at risk.
Moreover, I also fear what a Labour Government would mean for issues such as immigration policy, where they are completely out of touch with the majority of Ipswich residents. Whenever we see Labour-run administrations – whether its Ipswich Borough Council, the Welsh Assembly, or London’s City Hall under Sadiq Khan – we see policies that work against the interests of working people.
It’s important to remember that this election is also about whether or not you have a true champion for Ipswich in Parliament. I’ve done everything I can do be that champion over the past four and a half years and I would be very grateful for your continued support.
My Priorities

During my campaign I will focus on five key priorities that I believe will improve the lives of residents, make our town thrive for business and leisure and provide opportunities for Ipswich’s younger generation.
