Jack Brookes is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Birmingham Erdington. We spoke with Jack about his decision to stand.
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
I am a 25 year old libertarian and I have a degree in economics with finance (graduated 2020) from Queen’s University Belfast. I have worked many jobs including: financial crime (PwC), labourer, gas tool decontamination worker and postman.
Unlike all too many of our current politicians… I did NOT grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
Reform UK is the only pro-freedom mainstream party.
You’re the Spokesman for Birmingham Erdington what’s made you decide to represent this area?
I live in the constituency in which I am standing; my family have lived in the constituency for decades. Plus, I was selected to run in this constituency in the by-election in 2022; friends and people I went to school with live in this constituency – it would be an honour to represent them.
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
Locally: crime. It’s holding back the prosperity. Birmingham is the definition of anarcho-tyranny. When we bring back law and order then people will be able to thrive and standards of living will increase exponentially.
Nationally: inflation and bad government. These can be destroyed by bringing back the gold standard: money printing, fiat currency and fractional reserve banking must go! We must never allow a Central Bank Digital Currency to be foisted upon us. If we go back to money that the establishment cannot control – then we, the people, can prevent corruption and unjust wars. It would be a stepping stone to the greatest peace of our time if we went back to sound money.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
I need boots on the ground. I need as many people as possible to distribute election materials. So if they can give me a message on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram; put their: name, address and how many leaflets a day they can deliver a week then that would be smashing.
