News update from John Stevens, Rejoin EU Party candidate, Runcorn & Helsby by-election
Comment from John Stevens, former MEP and Rejoin EU candidate in the Runcorn & Helsby by-election on May 1st, on a report (link below) that Reform UK candidate Sarah Pochin’s husband’s family firm failed because of Brexit:
“It's quite astonishing that someone who knows from direct personal experience how disastrous leaving the EU has been for Britain should be running for Parliament for the party led by the man who brought us Brexit. This shows how Reform UK is not a vehicle for securing sound policies to help the British people,” Stevens said.

John Stevens extended his condolences on the death of Pope Francis to the congregations of St Edward the Confessor and The Holy Spirit Church in the parish of St Maximilian Kolbe, Our Lady Mother of the Saviour, Runcorn, St Luke’s Frodsham and the wider Catholic community in the UK and overseas. “Even for those of no religious faith, the Papacy remains probably the most profound reminder of the unity provided by the Christian roots of Europe’s shared civilisation,” Stevens said. “In particular, Pope Francis offered a constant, powerful critique of the plutocratic power which now threatens that civilisation.”
