About Thomas

Thomas Gravatt is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Southampton Test. He is the best choice to be your next MP. Thomas has worked hard over the past decade to call for improvements across Southampton. 

In May 2024, Thomas was elected as a Southampton City Councillor in Swaythling overturning a massive Labour majority from 3rd place.

Thomas moved to Southampton in 2014 to study at the University of Southampton where he now works as a fundraiser. He lives locally with his partner Amy who is a Doctor at Southampton General Hospital. Thomas is campaigning to improve road safety in our area and to secure investment in local facilities. If elected as our MP, he will work to secure more funding for our NHS, fight against climate change, and improve Southampton for the better.

Thomas said: “I believe that politics is about people. Politicians need to be there to help local residents when they have problems, and they need to stand up for their area, and their electorate, whether that's in Parliament or in a local council chamber. I have a strong record of working hard and delivering  for residents. I pride myself on getting things done, listening to others and standing up for what is right. 

"Southampton is a fantastic place to live, but it could be so much better. We have been let down by Labour in this city. They have brought the City Council to the brink of bankruptcy, slashed local services and have wasted your money. It needs to stop. 

“Southampton deserves better and I will always stand up for local people. The Liberal Democrats have a positive plan for Southampton, we just need your support to start delivering it.”

The Conservative vote is collapsing across Southampton and its clear they wont win here in the General Election. The Liberal Democrats are working hard to stand up to Labour's waste, cuts and inaction in Southampton.

The Liberal Democrats have a strong record of success in our area. Vote for Thomas Gravatt to be the Liberal Democrat MP for Southampton Test.
