Ibrahim Taguri

Ibrahim grew up in the heart of the constituency of Brent Central in Willesden Green.
Prior to being selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate he spent more than 15 years working as a charity fundraiser, including within the hospice movement and with children’s charities. He is a passionate campaigner on social justice and stated that his mission in politics is to eradicate child poverty in the UK by 2020. As the eldest child of a working class immigrant family he has strong views on what UK immigration policy should look like and has called for politicians to lead and present a positive and passionate case for immigration. He is committed to increasing parents’ access to affordable childcare, improving educational standards and fighting poverty through radical tax reform to ensure that the lowest earning in society are taken out of paying tax altogether. He is also a keen defender of civil liberties, both at home and abroad.
