Tony Gould

Reform UK councillor for Whitton

Council: Ipswich

Term ends: 2 May 2030

Reform UK

I am your parliamentary candidate for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. My name is Tony Gould and I have been active in politics since 2015 when I first stood for UKIP in the local elections in Ipswich. I then managed the Ipswich Brexit referendum for Vote Leave in 2016. I also stood for UKIP in the GE in 2017, for the Brexit Party in the GE in 2019 and also as MEP in 2019. I now need your help for the vitally important General Election later this year. My background is in science and technology having spent my career at the British Telecom research establishment at Martlesham Heath. I am now retired and my focus is trying to contribute to rectifying the dire state of this country after coping with some of the hopeless government policies over the last couple of decades. I have a Christian, conventional outlook and believe in integrity and hard work. Reform UK is the only party that reflects my views on immigration, education, the net zero problem and the Covid shambles, all of which have helped to bankrupt Britain. I was a Conservative ward councillor in Ipswich, with the main purpose of opposing our Labour controlled Borough Council, but resigned recently to take up this mission.
