A Call for Strong Leadership to Restore British Values

Mark Belch is disillusioned with the weak decisions made by politicians that are steadily eroding British culture, values, and quality of life. He believes the nation is broken and no longer recognizable. According to Belch, it's time for courageous leaders to step up and put an end to this deterioration.

Addressing the Failures of the Past 14 Years

The past 14 years under Conservative rule have left the nation fractured and exhausted. Belch highlights critical issues such as declining living standards, a housing crisis, an overburdened healthcare system, and escalating crime rates. He criticizes Labour's divisive identity politics and their impractical plans, like decarbonising the electricity grid by 2030, which he argues will only deepen the problems and further impoverish the nation. Belch also condemns Labour’s reckless spending, which he believes threatens to bankrupt the country.

Tackling the Security and Immigration Crisis

Belch is also concerned about the ongoing security and immigration crises. He notes that Labour Home Secretary John Reid deemed the immigration system "not fit for purpose" back in 2006, and successive governments have failed to address this issue effectively. Belch asserts that only Reform UK possesses the genuine determination needed to tackle these challenges head-on.

A Proven Record of Results and Commitment

With a proven track record of standing up for what’s right and achieving results, Mark Belch positions himself as the candidate ready to confront the establishment and work tirelessly to enhance the lives of people in the City of Durham. His goal is to contribute to making Britain great once more.

Personal Background and Professional Experience

Mark Belch has been married for 24 years and has lived in the North-East with his wife and son for the past 20 years. He works as a Business Consultant for financial services firms and holds an MBA from Leeds University Business School. Additionally, Belch volunteers with The Salvation Army, offering protection and support to victims of modern-day slavery in England.
