Charlie is a former care worker who was born in Portsmouth and grew up in North End. Now, he is standing up for our city campaigning on the NHS, Southern Water, and cutting food and energy costs.
Charlie wants to take these issues to Parliament as Portsmouth's next Liberal Democrat MP.
He is working with our team of Liberal Democrat councillors to get things done for Portsmouth, and Charlie regularly helps people with fly tipping, housing and other local issues.
Charlie is the best person to represent Portsmouth in Parliament. He will hold the Labour government to account and stand up for Portsmouth against bad decisions that hurt our city, from cuts to local services to disastrous half-baked ideas like forcing Portsmouth to merge with other areas, or the doomed Aquind interconnector project.
Charlie is standing up for Portsmouth and Southsea, working hard for our city all year round. You can contact him at hello@charliemurphy.uk
Charlie and the Portsmouth Liberal Democrats depend on the support of our local community to champion our city and give it the strong voice it deserves.

For years councils have been forced to sell off council houses and flats. It has been brilliant for the families that bought them, but the Conservative Government would not allow councils to replace the houses and flats sold off. Portsmouth sold off over 16,000, making it much more challenging to home homeless families. But action by the Lib Dem-led City Council is seeing a rebirth in the building and acquiring of council houses.
