About Jonathan

Jonathan Edward Gullis is a British politician and former teacher who represented Stoke-on-Trent North as Conservative Member of Parliament from 2019 to 2024. Born on 9 January 1990, he entered Parliament following the 2019 general election. During his parliamentary tenure, Gullis was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for School Standards by Prime Minister Liz Truss in September 2022, though he was dismissed from this role shortly afterwards when Rishi Sunak became prime minister the following month. In March 2024, he took up the position of deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, succeeding Luke Hall in that role.

After losing his parliamentary seat in 2024, Gullis was appointed Mayor of Kidsgrove in May 2025 for a one-year term. Seven months into this role, in December 2025, he left the Conservative Party to join Reform UK. His political experience spans education policy, having worked as a teacher before entering Parliament, and party organisation through his deputy chairmanship.
