Leeds South West and Morley
James Kendall

James Kendall has been announced as the new spokesperson for the Reform UK Party in the upcoming reformed Leeds Southwest and Morley constituency. With over 20 years of experience in logistics, Kendall has encountered numerous challenges faced by small businesses and has worked alongside inspiring individuals throughout his career. His deep-rooted understanding of these issues shapes his commitment to addressing them on both a national and local level.

A Lifelong Commitment to Leeds Southwest and Morley

Having lived in Leeds Southwest and Morley all his life, from Farnley to Wortley and Morley, Kendall feels a profound connection to his community. He is deeply concerned about the current direction in which the country is heading, a sentiment that resonates with both national and local concerns. His dedication to his constituency stems from his desire to see meaningful change and improvement in his hometown.

Addressing Local and National Challenges

Kendall's passion for politics is driven by his concern for the future of his children and the well-being of his community. He is increasingly frustrated by the escalating issues that affect daily life, including:

• Difficulty accessing GP appointments and nursing services.

• A severe shortage of affordable housing and school places, forcing families to seek education and accommodation outside their local areas.

• The closure of small businesses that are vital to the local economy.

• Rising costs of fuel, food, and other essentials, coupled with higher taxes without corresponding benefits.

• Ongoing struggles related to Brexit and the management of national borders.

Kendall believes that these issues reflect a broader failure to support the community and preserve the values that once characterized local life. He is determined to restore the community spirit and local identity that have been lost over time, advocating for a future where local businesses and residents are valued and supported.
