Richard Visick

Champion for Legal Reform and Economic Growth

As a Member of Parliament, Richard Visick leverages his extensive experience in UK Government policy consultations and his background in legal issues to advocate for essential legal reforms. Although now a non-practicing lawyer registered with the UK Solicitors Regulatory Authority, Visick continues to apply his legal expertise to support Reform UK's legislative agenda, with a particular focus on overhauling the Child Maintenance Service, which he believes is currently failing children and parents.

Advocate for Local Constituents and Business Growth

Born and educated in North London, Richard Visick graduated from Durham University with a degree in Economics. His tenure as head of students at the Church of England St Chad’s College honed his understanding of compassion, spirituality, and charity, enriching his ability to represent diverse communities. Visick's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish a law firm in London, where he gained firsthand experience in job creation and small business management. His role as a consultant solicitor in Bristol for nearly a decade further solidified his commitment to supporting new business ventures and combating bureaucratic obstacles in Bristol South. He is particularly keen to influence local immigration policies and address concerns related to immigrant accommodations in the area.

Enhancing Healthcare Services

Richard Visick's passion for healthcare is reflected in his investment and management of residential care homes, including those focused on mental health, as well as his involvement in medical technology companies. His background equips him to advocate for significant improvements in local healthcare services within Bristol South. Visick supports integrating alternative and complementary healing methods alongside traditional NHS services to provide comprehensive care.

Economic and Tax Reforms for Growth

Visick proposes several measures to stimulate economic growth, including tax cut incentives for new and small businesses, lifting the income tax-free earnings threshold to £20,000, reducing energy and fuel duties, and adjusting stamp duty and VAT thresholds. He advocates for substantial tax relief measures, including abolishing income tax for doctors and nurses for three years, enhancing GP availability, investing in medical technology, and incentivizing independent and charitable healthcare providers.

Social Housing, Education, and Policing Reforms

Richard Visick is committed to reforming social housing laws, offering tax relief for independent educators, and eliminating interest on student loans. He also aims to improve local policing by accelerating infrastructure improvements and increasing the number of front-line police officers nationwide.

Strategic Economic Savings

Visick's economic strategy includes reforms designed to save £91 billion annually. He proposes reducing interest rates to lower mortgage costs and national debt servicing expenses, implementing quantitative tightening policies, and eliminating unnecessary quangos and commissions. By cutting red tape and reassessing foreign aid, he anticipates additional savings to support a more efficient and effective government.
