Prabhdeep Singh, born in Punjab, India, has lived a life marked by service and determination. After moving to the UK in 2003, he joined the British Army in 2007, serving in the Royal Army Dental Corps for nearly eight years, including a period in the Reserve Army.
Post-military, Singh ventured into entrepreneurship, managing a Builder Merchant Yard until the pandemic disrupted his business.
Singh's foray into politics was fueled by his dissatisfaction with the governance of both the Tory and Labour parties. His commitment to the core values he learned in the British Army propelled him into active political engagement.
In August 2022, amidst the rising cost of living crisis, Singh undertook a hunger strike outside Reading station to protest against the lack of government action, particularly advocating for a windfall tax on profit-making giants, though this initial effort was largely ignored by the Conservative government.
The introduction and subsequent implementation of the ULEZ policy by the Labour Mayor of London further galvanized Singh's activism. His opposition to the policy led to a week-long hunger strike at Uxbridge station in August 2023, which attracted international media attention and significant public support.
This was followed by a mass hunger strike outside the Mayor’s residence, highlighting his growing influence and leadership in the movement against governmental policies he viewed as detrimental.
Faced with the limitations of street-level protests, Singh resolved to take his fight to a more strategic platform—Parliament. Joining the Reform UK party, he became the prospective parliamentary candidate for the Feltham and Heston Constituency.
His campaign is driven by a strong desire to advocate for the working class and to effect substantial political change through integrity, effective policy, and relentless advocacy.
Prabhdeep Singh’s transition from a disciplined military service to a passionate political activism embodies his profound commitment to service. His journey from Punjab to the potential corridors of British Parliament represents his dedication to transforming the UK's political landscape to better serve its people.
Reform UK presents itself as a political alternative to the traditional two-party system in Britain, criticizing both the Conservative and Labour parties for their perceived failures. The party positions itself as a champion of common sense, aiming to address the numerous crises it perceives in British society, from immigration and public spending to healthcare and energy policies.
Reform UK proposes a strict limit on non-essential immigration, arguing that it will alleviate pressure on housing, public services, and wages, and protect British culture and values. The party plans to implement a robust strategy to prevent illegal immigration, including detaining and deporting illegal migrants and ending health tourism and immediate access to benefits for new arrivals.
The economic strategy includes significant tax cuts aimed at boosting the income of the working class and incentivizing small businesses. Key measures include raising the income tax threshold, reducing corporation tax for small and medium-sized enterprises, and abolishing certain business taxes to encourage investment and economic growth.
Reform UK seeks to eliminate NHS waiting lists and proposes tax breaks for healthcare workers to address staff shortages. The party advocates for using private healthcare capacity to alleviate the burden on the NHS, suggesting a voucher system for patients facing long wait times.
A controversial aspect of their platform is the rejection of Net Zero carbon goals, which the party claims are economically damaging. Reform UK intends to revive the domestic oil and gas industries, reduce reliance on renewable energy subsidies, and explore new nuclear technology without the constraints of current environmental regulations.
The party pledges to increase police numbers, implement zero tolerance policies on crime, and expedite the deportation of foreign criminals. It also aims to reform the justice system by mandating life sentences for repeat violent offenders and enhancing the budget for criminal justice.
Reform UK calls for significant constitutional reforms, including leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, reforming the House of Lords, and introducing a proportional representation voting system. These changes are aimed at making Britain's political system more democratic and accountable.
Reform UK’s platform is built on a foundation of radical change across multiple sectors of government and society. The party seeks to dismantle what it views as failed policies and replace them with a framework that prioritizes British sovereignty, cultural identity, and economic independence.
