A Local Voice for Dewsbury and Batley

Johnathan Thackray, a lifelong resident of Dewsbury and Batley, is passionate about challenging the current state of affairs in the UK. With deep roots in the community, his family's history in Dewsbury, where his grandmother grew up in poverty with eight siblings, has shaped his desire for change. Witnessing firsthand the government's failure to support families during hard times, Johnathan is determined to ensure that no one in Dewsbury and Batley faces similar hardships in the future.

Addressing Local Concerns and National Challenges

Johnathan is deeply concerned about the growing challenges faced by his community. He believes that the rising debt, unchecked migration—both legal and illegal—and the inadequacies of public services, including the struggling NHS and a police force that prioritizes political correctness over crime, are leading the country in the wrong direction. He is committed to representing all voices in Dewsbury and Batley, regardless of whether he agrees with them, to foster unity and address the pressing issues head-on.

Reforming Britain with Reform UK

Having joined Reform UK over a year ago, Johnathan Thackray found a political home in a party willing to confront the establishment. He stands with Reform UK as the only real alternative for disenfranchised voters who feel let down by the mainstream parties. Johnathan is dedicated to driving meaningful change for the United Kingdom, advocating for policies that make work pay and reduce reliance on benefits, particularly in areas like Dewsbury and Batley, where economic inactivity is alarmingly high.

A Commitment to Local Support and National Change

If elected, Johnathan pledges to donate half of his parliamentary salary to local food banks until no family in Dewsbury and Batley goes hungry. He attributes the region's economic struggles to the flawed policies of both the Conservative and Labour parties, and he is committed to bringing radical, positive change to the nation. As a strong advocate for local issues, Johnathan will fight relentlessly for the people of Dewsbury and Batley, both in Westminster and against local councils like Kirklees.
