My Name is John McDermottroe (John Mac) I am the Reform UK Spokesperson for the Constituency of Stockton North.
I was born in Middlesbrough but have lived almost all of my life in Billingham. I went to School & College in Billingham & later studied at Teesside Polytechnic which is now the renowned Teesside University.
I started my working life at I.C.I in Billingham & worked my way up to be the Supervisor at the Nitram Plants at Portrack. I left for a short spell to work at Albright & Wilson Chemical site in Widnes where I was a Shift Manager.
I came back to Billingham to start my own businesses in the early nineties & am still here!
I had no interest in Politics whatsoever – even though my uncle was a Labour MP & later a European Minister – but when Brexit came along, I was deeply concerned about the loss of democracy in this country & so I started to get involved.
I am truly saddened at the current state of Politics in this Country & feel that the vast majority of people are not being listened to by any of the main parties. I feel that we can do so much better as a nation.
There are a lot of things that have gone badly wrong in this Country over many decades now – the NHS, Policing, Fishing, Energy, Armed Forces, Housing, Immigration & the Economy to name but a few.
The Reform party are a party of common sense & all of the Polices come from people who have “been there done it & got the T-Shirt” 🙂 not Career Politicians!
I am grateful that I have been given the chance to give back to the local community by standing to represent the Stockton North Constituency. I hope to meet as many of you as possible in the run up to the next General Election.
We need change now, more than ever, & I, like many other people, have come to realise that we will never get the change required if we don’t move away from the Established Parties in this country. That’s why I believe that Reform are the only credible Party to get this country off its knees & back where it belongs. We need lower Taxes leading to growth, not constant cut backs & higher taxes.
