Constituency
Name
David White
I have lived in Barnsley for over 10 years and love the area and its people. I live with my Fiancée and our cocker spaniel, Wesley, and I work in the fintech sector. I am also a Reform UK Ward Councillor.
Biography
At a local level I work hard representing residents and helping wherever possible with their local issues. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has been under Labour control since formation and comes under intense scrutiny locally due to some of the decisions made and ambitious projects undertaken, including a town centre shopping arcade with an initial budget of £45m which has risen to over £220m, and what many residents describe as a 'vanity project' footbridge, budgeted at £3m and still unfinished, having consumed some £13m and still counting. All contributing to the £850m Council debt.
I have been politically active for as long as I can remember, until 18 months ago with the Conservative Party (after a short period as a member of The Brexit Party - now Reform UK).
Like many people though, I became disillusioned with the last decade of Government, and I have experienced a Labour Government at their worst. I also witnessed Labours shift to the extreme left under Jeremy Corby, supported in full by Kier Starmer.
I realised that I had become politically homeless, with neither of the main political parties offering common sense policies, credibility or demonstrating any care for communities or our Country.
