Louth and Horncastle
Sean Matthews

Sean Matthews is honored to have been selected as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Louth and Horncastle, representing Reform UK. With a strong background in public service and a deep commitment to his community, Sean is ready to bring his passion for reform and change to Parliament.

Background and Public Service Career

Sean’s journey began with his service in the Metropolitan Police, where he joined in 1993. Throughout his career, he worked across various boroughs and specialist departments, gaining extensive experience and insight into the communities he served. His time as a family liaison officer, dealing with bereaved families, was especially formative, shaping his belief in the importance of compassion, care, and living fully in the present.

In 2018, after a fulfilling career, Sean retired and moved to Lincolnshire to be closer to his family. His decision to settle just outside Horncastle was driven by his desire for his younger children to enjoy the wide open space of the countryside. Today, Sean is a proud father of four, with his eldest daughter living in Lincoln and expecting his third grandchild, while his younger children are thriving in local schools.

Community Involvement and Personal Life

Since retiring, Sean has thrown himself into local politics and community activities. He has stood in both district and county elections and has been actively involved in running election campaigns. He was also the chairman of his local parish meeting, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to serving his community. A dedicated rugby fan, Sean is actively involved in the sport, having coached his sons and regularly attending games. In his spare time, he enjoys golf and is pursuing a master’s degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, reigniting his passion for education.

Why Reform UK? Why Now?

Sean’s political journey took a significant turn when he decided to leave the Conservative Party. Once a local branch chair and a member of the association’s executive, he grew disillusioned with the party’s shift towards a left-wing agenda. The continuous changes in leadership, culminating in the election of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, led Sean to resign and join Reform UK.

Now, Sean is determined to represent Reform UK and its policies, which he believes offer the best solutions for the challenges Britain faces today. From low taxes and zero immigration to affordable energy and cutting down waiting lists, Reform UK provides a clear, practical alternative to the two main parties.

A Call for Change

Sean firmly believes it is time to break the two-party deadlock that has failed the country. With a vision to reform immigration policies, the public sector, and institutions like the BBC and the House of Lords, Sean is committed to making a real difference. He hopes the people of Louth and Horncastle will take a bold step by electing him as their MP and support Reform UK’s mission to rebuild and strengthen Britain.

How You Can Help

Running a successful election campaign requires significant resources, and Sean is asking for support from those who believe in Reform UK’s vision. Contributions, big or small, can help him in his mission to bring real change to Louth and Horncastle.
