Matt’s employment history is in sales and business management.

Full statement

His career involved extensive travel throughout the UK and beyond. The experience confirmed his belief that the nations that make up the UK are at their best when cooperating on shared concerns and opportunities.

Born sixty-five years ago in Glasgow, Matt married Brenda in 1980. Five years later they settled in East Renfrewshire. With excellent amenities and services, it was the perfect place to bring up a family. The whole family, now including a son, two daughters, and three grandchildren, continue to live there and benefit from its many advantages.

There have been many changes since the Alexanders put down their roots here almost forty years ago. Recently, along with most of the UK, the people of East Renfrewshire have felt the effects of global instability. The strain on our education and health services and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis are as undeniable as they are preventable.

For years, devolved and national governments have done little to improve matters. In fact, they’re a big part of the problem. Their complicity starts with the failure to acknowledge crucial factors which threaten our stability. Politicians can’t protect voters’ interests unless they put voters first. It’s time for Reform. On 4th July vote for Matt Alexander, your fellow constituent and Reform UK candidate.
