Biography:
Steve Bayliss – I am very proud to be representing the constituents of Pontypridd once again in the General Election 2024 having been your candidate under the Brexit Party five years ago, it is overwhelming to have been chosen to represent you under the now rebranded Reform UK party. Born in Pontypridd, I am a freeman of Llantrisant common, I have worked in various factories in the surrounding areas before becoming an emergency service worker and teaching cadets within the Rhondda-Cynon-Taff community.
My Grandfathers were miners, my father was a soldier who fought for this country to be free, sovereign and independent which motivated me to get into politics because of the injustice that both the UK and Welsh Governments went against the democracy of the people. Now, we have heard about Woke, and Cancel Culture that we are slowly losing the battle by not being allowed to have free speech and that local councils around the country will cancel comedy if it don’t meet their taste.
Even our own Tom Jones experienced this by the WRU officially banning ‘Delilah’ • I will fight this new culture with your vote on July 4th • I will fight this illegal immigration culture and stop the boats and take back control of our borders. Freeze non-essential immigration. • I will fight to Make work pay: - help raise the annual income tax threshold from the personal allowance of £12, 570 per person to £20,000 per person so you get to keep more of your hard-earned money. In other words, you don’t pay tax if your pay is under £20,000 •
I will fight Instigate “Veterans First” priority status in the first 100 days for healthcare, housing, training and education, together with support for dependents. • I will fight in saving the NHS to get to Zero NHS waiting lists within 2 years, Patients will receive a voucher for private treatment if they can't see a GP within 3 days. For a consultant, the time limit would be 3 weeks. For an operation, 9 weeks. It will remain free. We will fight to repair this Broken NHS system. • I will also fight for a Minister for Men and Boys in male suicide / mental health as we don’t have a minister for male only issues etc Our proposed Contract with the people can be found at https://www.reformparty.uk/our-contract-contents
