Birmingham Erdington Constituency

Candidate - Jack Brookes

Biography:

Why I am standing: I strive to honour my ancestors sacrifice. My ancestors did not fight and die in WWI & II for the state that the United Kingdom is in at this very moment. I am living proof that being British is not about skin, it is about your values.

Trust: The public’s trust in our political class is completely gone, and rightfully so. I do not want power over anyone - only over myself - and I want the same for others As long as you are not hurting anyone you should be able to live your life how you see fit; with freedom of speech and freedom of religion - I will put my life on the line for these things.

Cost of living: First, tackle inflation and bad government by bringing back the gold standard: money printing, fiat currency and fractional reserve banking must go! We must never allow a Central Bank Digital Currency to be foisted upon us. If we go back to money that the establishment cannot control - then we, the people, can prevent corruption and unjust wars. It would be a stepping stone to the greatest peace of our time if we went back to sound money.

About me: I am a 25 year old libertarian who attended John Willmott and Bishop Vesey. I have a degree in economics with finance (graduated 2020) from Queen's University Belfast. I have worked many jobs including: financial crime (PwC), labourer, gas tool decontamination worker and postman.

Unlike all too many of our current politicians... I did NOT grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I live in the constituency in which I am standing; my family have lived in the constituency for decades.

I enjoy new challenges and fitness.
