Hi, my name is Ian, I am married with 2 grown up children.

Full statement

I’ve lived in Bradford for over 30 years. I’ve worked as a Procurement and Commercial Manager for 35 years, mostly within manufacturing companies in West Yorkshire.

I have not previously been involved in politics at a local or national level but felt the need to do something and offer people an alternative from the 2 main parties who both appear to be committed to imposing their politically correct agendas on the country whilst restricting the rights of ordinary citizens to voice their concerns.

My main political interests are in encouraging economic growth in the North through business incentives and investment in transport infrastructure and manufacturing. I have no time for net zero, gender debates or other minority issues that seem to have distracted our political class and mainstream media over the last few decades. My main concern is for the silent majority, those who have contributed to society, worked hard and done the right things in life but have seen their living standards dragged down by high taxes, unnecessary government spending and poor immigration control.

Outside of work, I enjoy Park Runs, dog walking and motorcycling.

Hoping you vote for Reform UK and help put a stop to the slow and unnecessary decline of the UK, its economy, its historic freedoms and its culture.
