Profiles

Darren Selkus

A proud resident of Hertsmere, refuses to be just another cog in the political machine. Disillusioned by the empty promises and lack of accountability from mainstream politicians, he has taken on the role of Reform UK Branch Chair for Hertsmere with a fierce determination to challenge the status quo.

Darren's journey into politics was catalyzed by the aftermath of the 2016 Brexit referendum, where he witnessed the disregard for the democratic process first hand. This spurred him to join the Brexit Party and eventually become the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Epping Forest. Since then, his passion for reform and accountability has only grown stronger.

Reform UK Candidate Hitchin

Charles Bunker

I have lived in Hitchin since I was five years old. I went to school at St Andrew’s School (old site) and then Kingshott before going to school in Bedford. For one fabulous summer I was a lifeguard in Hitchin’s outdoor swimming pool.

My wife, Suzie, was both a pupil and teacher at Hitchin Girls' School until her retirement. My three children were educated locally in Hitchin, Letchworth, and Baldock.

Reform Candidate

Jack Aaron

Jack lives with his wife and baby son in Welwyn Garden City. A practising psychologist, he is intrigued by how culture and social dynamics drive political developments. On Saturdays, he is often to be found at the local Hebrew Congregation, where he is dedicated to safeguarding and supporting the Jewish community for future generations. He is a self-described 'small c conservative' who left the Conservative Party over their abandonment of tradition in favour of empty consumerism, their willingness to erode quality of life in the pursuit of net zero, and neglect for personal freedoms and child wellbeing in their response to Covid. Especially important to Jack is education, restoring a national pride to English life, and protecting the values that made Britain great.
