David Burgess-Joyce is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Wallasey. We spoke with David about his decision to stand.
“I no longer supported a party that was NOT conservative. I also looked at what Reform UK were advocating, and I struggled to disagree”
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is David Burgess-Joyce and I represent the Wallasey constituency on the Wirral, which is part of Merseyside. I’ve spent all my working life in law enforcement and have worked throughout the United Kingdom and internationally.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
I was a Conservative all my adult life and had two terms as a councillor. However, last year I resigned my membership because I no longer supported a party that was NOT conservative. I also looked at what Reform UK were advocating, and I struggled to disagree.
“I have lived in this area all my 60 years and know it extremely well”
You’re the Spokesman for Wallasey what’s made you decide to represent this area?
I have lived in this area all my 60 years and know it extremely well. I am also of the opinion that decades of a Labour MP who lives in London has not helped its success.
“There are areas of deprivation which have not seen the council maintain or show any interest in”
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
Wallasey needs inward investment to raise the area from a forgotten part of Merseyside. There are areas of deprivation which have not seen the council maintain or show any interest in. Ironically, these are some of the areas the Labour council receive their votes from! Given we have a coast on three sides I am concerned the pollution caused by the water utility company and some businesses is rife, and I intend campaigning for strong sanctions.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
