Shanuk has been an active member of the Conservative Party for over a decade, as part of associations in Bristol, Oxford and London. He previously served as Chairman of Hornsey and Friern Barnet Conservative Association, in North London.
Following his move to Ealing, he has become heavily involved with the MCA, and became Deputy Chairman (Political) and Hanwell Broadway Branch Chair in January 2025. He is particularly interested in tacking the scourge of crime and anti-social behaviour in the borough, and in supporting expanded opportunities for young people.
Shanuk works as a solicitor specialising in company mergers and acquisitions. At the weekends, when not on the campaign trail, he can be found exploring the many scenic walks and cosy cafes which Hanwell has to offer.
He was one of the candidates for the Walpole ward in the 2026 local elections
