Ben Mooney
Reform UK candidate for Whitley Bay North
Active on State
My name is Ben Mooney, and I am proud to be your Reform UK candidate for Whitley Bay North. Born and raised in North Tyneside, I understand our community, its values, and its challenges. I am currently training to become a solicitor, driven by a strong belief in fairness, justice, and standing up for what’s right. I’m standing as your candidate because I believe our area deserves better. Whitley Bay is a beautiful seaside town with incredible potential, but for too long, it has been overlooked by the local Labour leadership.
