On the Lembit Öpik Show, Nick Buckley explains why elections should be about real experience, local roots, and proven action — not party branding or parachuted candidates. Drawing on decades of work in Gorton and Denton, he makes the case for doers over talkers and accountability over political machines.
In a broken system ruled by party machines and career politicians, Advance UK stands for something different: genuine local credibility.
Leading the charge is Nick Buckley MBE, a true grassroots hero raised on a South Manchester council estate by a single mum.
With over two decades of real-world experience in challenging communities, Nick founded The Mancunian Way charity – winning awards for slashing youth crime, tackling rough sleeping, and protecting the vulnerable.
He's advised prime ministers on social issues, exposed institutional failures, and never shied from tough truths.
Now, as Advance UK's key voice and candidate (including for Gorton and Denton), Nick brings that unbreakable backbone to politics – putting people and communities first, not party agendas.
Forget the spin: this is about fighters with roots, record, and results. Watch our hard-hitting video, see why Nick Buckley MBE deserves your vote, and join the movement to take back control at advanceuk.org.uk
