Hello to you, and thank you for contacting Reformuk and looking at my biography.

Full statement

My name is Ian Williams, and I was born in the valley town of Pontypool in Wales, my parents were active in the labour movement from the age of sixteen. My Father was a County Councillor for the Gwent County Council, and my Mother represented the trade unions at their conferences in Geneva on several occasions.

On leaving the Armed Forces I joined the Labour Party; I became a Town Councillor and then the President of the Constituency Party and Chair of the Torfaen Labour Party.

Seeing that labour were totally against Brexit I joined UKIP, and formed the UKIP Torfaen Branch, this was not because of any hatred towards Europeans, just simply felt that it was against the interests of the British people.

I worked in the Senedd/Welsh Parliament has Senior Research Officer and Office Manager for David Rowlands (UKIP).

I was a member of the Brexit Party when it was first formed, and also Reform UK at the change of name.

I am proud to stand as a Reform UK candidate in Torfaen where I was brought up. I have stood in two previous elections and also the Senedd election.

My political stance is that both Labour and the Conservatives have always let this country down in the end no matter the promises they made to get there.

The promises made in our ‘Contract with the people’ is exactly that…a contract, one that has been fully costed and policies we need to MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN! And keep the United Kingdom stronger together.
