It's the beginning of a journey.
As a survivor of a rape gang, I know what it feels like to be failed by institutions that should protect the vulnerable. I know the pain of not being heard, the frustration of seeing injustice ignored, and the determination it takes to keep moving forward, even when all the odds are against you.
That experience has shaped who I am massively. But it does not define what I can, and will achieve, not only for myself but for our future generations, in the near future.
I want to thank every single person who supports me, believed in me, and stood beside me. Your encouragement, kindness, faith and genuine humanity has given me the strength to turn pain into power.
I am seriously grateful to those who support my
@reformparty_uk journey, and who share the belief that our country deserves honesty, accountability, and leaders who are prepared to speak up when others stay silent. I have a wonderful amount of support within the party and I consider myself extremely lucky.
@Nigel_Farage has given me hope that there is people in positions of power that will help end this hellhole we have been living in.
This is the start of my journey to help bring positive change to our country. I will be a voice for those who feel unheard, to stand up for victims, and to work towards a Britain where people can have confidence that justice, fairness, and common sense matter.
The road ahead will not always be easy, it never has been. But I will face it with hope, determination, and gratitude. More importantly, I will face it with our future always at the forefront of my mind. Change needs to happen now.
I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate every one of you individually. Your support never goes unnoticed.
If I could go back and tell the little girl I once was, lost in a spiral of failures, at the hands of a rape gang, that this is where we are now, I couldn’t even tell you how I’d have reacted.
I considered myself lucky to be alive, let alone doing everything I am now.
The trauma I suffered was a few chapters, I am yet to write the whole book. I sincerely hope to make you proud in the years ahead.
Thank you for believing in me. This is only the beginning.
Ellie Reynolds.
