The Maidenhead Advertiser Writes

As soon as Julian Reid's nomination had been accepted, it was straight round to the offices of the Maidenhead Advertiser before their copy deadline.  Julian was now in an airport lounge, before a short business trip to New York.  Here is the article the Advertiser's journalist wrote as a result of their phone conversation and his letter published in the previous week's paper:

A businessman who has grown disillusioned with the Conservative Party is set to stand for election in Maidenhead for The Just Political Party.

Julian Reid a 72-year-old who works in financial services, describes himself as an 'alternative Conservative'.

He said "I have come to the conclusion that unless you are in support of hard Brexit or the third runway at Heathrow you've got nobody to vote for."

"Flip-flop May as I call her is not the person to be negotiating Brexit."

"I think people in Maidenhead deserve to have an alternative Conservative contestant."

The party was founded in 2014 by Chris Challis, from Ascot, and aims to be a 'truly centrist party option for voters'.

Chris said "The Just Political Party was founded to provide voters with the positive choice if you believe in a strong economy and a caring society."

Mr Reid lives in Windsor Great Park with wife Rosa and has two adult children, Sarah and Thomas.

Note:  The Just Political Party is bringing together Conservatives and Labour moderates . Hence the twin colour ribbons in our rosette. We are recruiting from Labour's ranks too.  Watch this space!
