Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes Constituency
Biography:
I have lived in Cleethorpes all my life and love the area and its people. I work within the NHS and am also a Reform UK Ward Councillor on North east Lincolnshire Council.
At a local level I work hard representing residents and helping wherever possible with their local issues. North east Lincolnshire Council had previously been a Labour stronghold, but since 2019 has been run by the Conservatives. Both Parties have failed to advance the area and the Council continues to come under intense scrutiny locally due to some of the decisions made and obsession with vanity projects.
I have been politically active since the age of fifteen, being elected as the youngest Councillor in the country aged eighteen. I recently resigned the Conservative Party whip and joined the Reform Party, because I truly believe Reform’s policies will take our country forwards.
Like many people, I became disillusioned with the last decade of Government, I have also witnessed Labours shift to the extreme left under Jeremy Corbyn, supported in full by Kier Starmer. I cannot support a man who cannot definitively state what a woman is.
I realised that I had become politically homeless, with neither of the main political parties offering common sense policies, credibility or demonstrating any care for communities or our Country.
I cannot understand how the minority have been allowed to force this woke culture upon us, taking over our institutions and eroding our freedoms. Freedom of speech is, in my view an essential element of our democracy, but we are constantly questioned over the use of 'inappropriate pronouns'. I worry where this may end up. The Conservatives have allowed it during their time in Government, and I fear a Labour Party would only make it worse. What is a woman, Keir?
Our border control is failing. Both legal and illegal migration is wholly mismanaged and has resulted in over ten million immigrants welcomed in the last twenty years. This is with minimal improvements to roads, rail, schooling, NHS or defence. Our Justice system is close to collapse, prisons overflowing, net zero being forced upon us whilst developing countries pump out CO2 in huge quantities.
I approached Reform UK after studying their policies and watching their rapid growth over the last few years. The party shares pretty much every view that I hold.
People do say to me that a vote for Reform UK is a vote for Labour. In my opinion, the Conservatives are already set for many years in opposition regardless. And deservedly so for what they have done to our people and country. But in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, as UKIP have shown before with impressive polling, we could just steal this election from under Labour’s nose. Whether Labour or the Conservatives were to get in, you would be getting two sides of the same coin, so a vote for Reform is not a wasted vote.
Many people also ask me what I could hope to achieve if elected with Reform UK in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Simply, I can be the most straight-talking voice that our area has ever had in Westminster. Unwhipped, holding any Government to account relating to local and national issues, I enjoy questioning decisions and making alternative solutions. I am a young man who is hungry for change.
Vote Labour or Tory, expect more of the same. But you can’t complain.
