REFORM OUR ECONOMY


Conservatives have tripled national debt and crippled the economy with 70-year high taxes and 30-year high inflation. Labour would be worse. The Labour Party has never in its history created more jobs than it destroyed.

  • To succeed, we must get back to being a lower tax, smartly regulated, high growth economy.
  • We need to create real, rewarding jobs and get out of the cycle of benefits dependency.
  • Faster growth is the only way to better wages and more tax revenues to invest in better healthcare and other public services.
  • Our clear economic vision frees up over 6.0 million people from paying income tax and frees up over 1.2 million small businesses and the self-employed from paying corporation tax. We would also remove a raft of stifling taxes. This will get the UK back to steady economic growth and greater confidence to invest.

 

The Conservative agenda is to become more and more like Labour. Even though Labour is pretty unpalatable, even to many traditional Labour voters. Both are patronising ordinary working people, and with them it's only the politically correct agenda or the climate agenda that count for anything.


Remember, a vote for real change is never a wasted vote. Reform UK stands for bringing positive change to our country, and we won't stop until we have it.

ABOUT TREVOR LLOYD-JONES


The Aldershot constituency covers the areas of Aldershot and North Town, Farnborough and Cherrywood, Hawley, Minley, Cove, and to the north Blackwater and Yateley East.


Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Aldershot Trevor Lloyd-Jones went to school and grew up in Yateley in Northeast Hampshire from childhood. Former school governor specialising in data, education KPIs and performance, he has experience managing small businesses before a lifetime career in journalism, publishing, marketing, and the digital and technology industries.


An economist and business analyst by training, he’s also an author of non-fiction books, commentator and contributor to hundreds of publications and economic journals around the world from the FT, to Time Magazine, China Economic Review, Business Intelligence-Middle East to Middle East Economic Digest.


Former Conservative and former Conservative candidate Trevor is standing on a true reform agenda and a ‘small c’ conservative agenda: reform of the NHS, the judiciary, tax, with a pro-growth economic plan, and a new deal for young people on student debt and on home ownership.

Trevor is campaigning against cuts to the armed forces, the hollowing out of Britain’s defence sector and this government’s shoddy treatment of veterans. He was one of the Brexit Party candidates who stood aside for the Boris Johnson intake of Conservatives at the 2019 election.


But now, after more than a decade of the Conservatives the public have become conditioned to failure. They’ve become used to ministers blaming everyone but themselves, whether it’s the House of Lords, immigration lawyers, EU bureaucrats or the European Court of Human Rights. In the media and locally Trevor is lobbying passionately for a new kind of bottom-up/bubble-up politics, an open, more ambitious and accessible politics. He speaks out against undemocratic and faceless global organisations taking the place of our democratic institutions.


When not on the campaign trail Trevor can be found enjoying countryside walks or writing books on philosophy, politics and 'conscious capitalism'. He holds a degree in Economics and Public Administration from University of London and a Masters degree in Business Administration.

"Based on recent 2023 polling seven in ten people will not get what they voted for at the next election. It's time for proportional representation. We need to make voting count for something again."

REFORM OUR INSTITUTIONS


As Albert Einstein said: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. It's time to end the revolving door of the traditional political parties.


  • Major change is needed to the bodies that impact our lives, the unelected cronyism of the House of Lords, the unaccountable civil service, the bloated BBC.
  • Reform is essential to our voting system so it is fairer and more representative: the two-party system embeds the status quo and prevents real change.
  • We must be ambitious, seeking faster, more efficient public services that work better for us all, with better results. For example, in health, we should demand zero waiting lists.
  • Our police need to focus on preventing crime and catching criminals, not virtue signalling, and they need to be freed from the burden of red tape.
