Teesside is experiencing significant deindustrialisation, leading to increased unemployment and poverty. Local candidate for Reform UK, John Mac, highlights frustrations among residents regarding job opportunities, cost of living, and immigration concerns. Mac, who has a background in industrial work, feels disconnected from Labour, a party once associated with the working class. The Reform party's platform aims to resonate with these sentiments by advocating for a manufacturing renaissance post-Brexit, appealing to a disenchanted electorate in traditionally Labour-dominated constituencies.
John Mac points out that the local industrial landscape has seen a significant decline, expressing concern over the loss of jobs in areas affected by deindustrialisation.
The Reform UK leader aims to attract working-class voters by proposing a return to manufacturing, linking their agenda closely with sentiments surrounding post-Brexit policies.
