Michael Riley

Statement to voters

I spent 10 years in HM Armed Forces before moving to the Ministry of Justice, ending my career as an operational governor grade. I have recently become a published author of a biography called 'Not the Life of Riley', under the publisher The Endless Bookcase, writing about my personal experiences spanning over twenty one years in HM Prison Service. I have lived and worked in the Stafford area since the year 2000, when I moved here as a deputy governor and I have witnessed lots of change in our communities over that period. One thing is clear, we have all suffered under the stewardship of various governments over many years. I am not a career politician, but I could no longer simply watch our country disintegrate, its infrastructure and fabric crumbling away after decades of mismanagement. Two years ago I decided, “enough is enough”, applied for a Prospective Parliamentary Candidate position (PPC) with Reform UK, for the Stafford constituency, and was successful. I am an ordinary person who wants to do an extraordinary job for constituents, for the benefit of us all. We have all suffered enough, and I firmly believe that Reform UK’s policies in the draft document “Our contract with You” are the way forward for my constituency and our country.
