Biography: Ben Roberts was a primary school teacher until last year and now recruits teachers, working for a company in Vauxhall.

He has lived in the borough his entire life, although his family has since moved away. He describes his sister Faith as "an absolute rock".

Hobbies/interests: An avid Chelsea FC fan, he also plays football for Chessington KCFC. He enjoys cycling, current affairs and garage and house music.

He says: "I have lived in this historic borough for all of my life, and therefore share many of the concerns and aspirations of local people having gone to school and worked in the borough.

"I used to be a primary school teacher and I care passionately about children growing up in a Britain they can be proud of.

"To achieve that, Britain must become a self-governing sovereign state once more, and for this we need to bring about change.

"I am very proud to be running as a prospective UKIP MP for a community that I have grown up in.

"Fed up with career politicians, I want the House of Commons to be filled with people from a diverse range of backgrounds with life experiences that echo the experiences of their electorate.

"I know first-hand that UKIP are a common sense party and our fully costed manifesto stands up for the people of this fantastic country."
