Smethwick
Pete Durnell

Pete Durnell has been a dedicated resident of Warley, now part of the new Smethwick constituency, for over 30 years. His extensive experience spans both IT and politics, reflecting a deep commitment to improving his community.

Professional Background and Political Involvement

For the first two decades of his career, Pete worked in various IT roles, serving as a “problem fixer” and gaining valuable skills in addressing complex issues. Over the past ten years, Pete has channeled his efforts into politics, driven by frustration with the ineffective and self-serving policies of Conservative and Labour administrations. His firsthand experience of local towns deteriorating from vibrant hubs to areas struggling with poverty has fueled his commitment to meaningful change.

Founding Reform UK

Three and a half years ago, Pete played a pivotal role in founding Reform UK. His motivation was clear: to establish a party with pragmatic policies and a team of dedicated individuals who genuinely care about the UK’s future. Pete believes that Reform UK offers the best chance to reverse the decline of our local areas and the nation as a whole. He remains steadfast in his conviction that relying on the traditional parties, which have contributed to the current crisis, is not a viable solution.

Vision for Change

Pete is committed to introducing fresh perspectives and ending the culture of virtue signaling, weakness, and self-interest that plagues current politics. He advocates for a new generation of leaders driven by common sense, passion, and a genuine commitment to national well-being. Reform UK embodies these values, and Pete is honored to be the Reform UK candidate for the new Smethwick constituency in the upcoming General Election on July 4th.

Conclusion

Pete encourages voters to explore Reform UK’s policies, ideas, and principles to understand how the party stands apart from the traditional mainstream options. He believes that, with public support on July 4th, Reform UK can address the failures of Conservative and Labour leadership and work towards a brighter future for Britain.
