WP:BLP of a politician notable only for serving on a local borough council. This is not a level of political office that automatically confers a free pass over WP:NPOL, but the article is not sourced anywhere near well enough to get him over the WP:GNG bar: four of the six footnotes are to primary sources that cannot support encyclopedic notability at all, one is a piece of his own writing about something else, and the last is a short blurb in the local community pennysaver about him campaigning with a reality show contestant -- which is not nearly enough coverage to get him to the finish line all by itself as the only media source in play. People at this level of political office are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but none of these sources are cutting it in terms of making him special.

Redirect to My Life My Say#Founding, as founding that organisation seems to be what he's most notable for (I'm not convinced a non-parliamentarian can found a parliamentary group), and there's much the same info about him there. Agree there's not sufficient significant coverage of him in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG / WP:BASIC, but I found some coverage of him in the context of founding that organisation in The i, The Sunday Express and Shout Out UK. --Qwfp (talk) 11:38, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to My Life My Say#Founding. Local politician so fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOLITICIAN, not independently notable from the organisation, so redirect to there. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:53, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
