John Edwards is the Reform UK 2024 General Election Candidate for the Southampton Test Constituency.
Here are Mr Edwards' responses to the six questions that we have asked of all candidates. They are provided in full. We are very grateful to him for providing them at this busy time for candidates and for the Reform UK party. No candidate photo has been provided yet and will be added if provided.
1. Why are you standing in this General Election?
"I am standing in this general election because I believe that Reform UK have the answers and the policies to stop the rot in Britain that has been the hallmark of the Conservatives tenure of government. Labour's policies do not inspire me because of their failure to demonstrate their costings."
2. Why are you standing for Reform UK?
"Reform UK ideals match my own."
3. What will you do in the first 100 days if elected?
"Personally, I would get to work right away, challenging local issues as to why our city has such a chronic record of maintaining council housing stock along with the documented need to provide more homes. The Solent Freeport is still not underway compared to other freeports in the country, such as Plymouth. I want to to champion Southampton as the place to come and business and to rebuild our local economy."
4. What do you think are the best top 5 policies of your party?
"The top five policies of our party in my opinion are:
1. To raise the threshold of income tax to £20k.
2. Take 20p off fuel duty.
3. Nurses and care staff to be removed from paying income tax for three years.
4. Raise the threshold of Vat & reduce corporation tax.
5. Control immigration / stop the boats."
5. What do you think are the top 5 issues that Southampton people want addressed, and what do you intend to do about them?
No answer provided yet.
6. What track record do you have of winning campaigns?
"I have many years of experience in in all aspects of campaigning. Kick starting Reform UK here in Southampton and seeing it grow into its present shape that continues to attract new members, supporters and volunteers is so heartening. It is giving a growing hope to many within our city that we can achieve the change demanded by so many people who feel let down by the Westminster parties."
