Name
James Bush
It is a great honour to have been chosen as Reform UK’s Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency of Burton and Uttoxeter.
Biography
I was born in Reading, however I started school in the French-speaking part of Belgium, because my father’s job took us there.  I went to the local state primary school and learnt to read, write, and arithmetic in French, alongside my Belgian classmates. In 1979 we moved back to England and I completed my scholarity in the local primary and comprehensive schools. At university I read Chemical Engineering, and I have worked as a Chemical Engineer throughout my whole career. This has included living and working in France and the Netherlands, as well as work in the Republic of Ireland and Sweden. Since 2019 I have run my own engineering consulting business.
I am happily married to my wonderful wife, we have three beautiful children plus two fantastic cats. We live in Barton under Needwood in the adjoining constituency of Lichfield. Our youngest was born in 2016 in Queen’s Hospital in Burton. All our children attend the local primary and comprehensive schools in Barton. I am a confirmed member of the Church of England and worship regularly at St James in Barton.
I have always been proud to be English and British, and have been concerned over the future of our beloved country throughout my life. In the 2010, 2015 and 2017 general elections I stood in the Constituency of North East Derbyshire as the UKIP candidate. In the 2016 Referendum I campaigned extensively for Leave.
My motivation for standing in the General Election is to provide the good people of Burton and Uttoxeter with the opportunity to vote for a Reform UK candidate. The Conservative government has betrayed the British people on immigration.  In 2022 alone, over 1.2 million newcomers settled in the United Kingdom.
