Malcolm Birks – Our Parliamentary Candidate

We are delighted to announce Malcolm Birks as our Parliamentary candidate. Malcolm grew up in Glusburn, went to South Craven School and now lives in Skipton with his wife and two children. He works as an architect for a local firm and is Chairman of Skipton Community Sports Hub where he also volunteers as a cricket coach. He was our candidate in the 2015 General Election and achieved our first ever second place in Skipton and Ripon.

Malcolm has been inspired to stand again by Keir Starmer’s transformation of the Labour Party and the Labour leader’s powerful and credible plan to get the country back on its feet. He said: “If elected I will listen to local people and highlight the issues facing this region in Westminster. I feel we are a forgotten outpost, ignored by central Government and policy makers, but I am optimistic we can change this and get our fair share of the investment in infrastructure.”

If elected, he promises to fight in Westminster for a better deal for the working people of the region, citing the NHS, infrastructure, boosting the local economy and affordable housing as priorities.
