We need a team full of courage, experience, and ideological clarity who will stand up for Conservative values no matter what. That’s the team I’m building.
We are the only party that is prepared to tell the truth and take the tough decisions to get spending under control. That’s the way to bring real change.
If we are to make this year the point from when we rise again, and the latest case study in the Conservative Party bouncing back from a historic low, then we need to forge a new determination in this time of adversity. Conservatism matters for our country.
My job is to do what is right, not what is popular. If I didn’t push ahead with restructuring CCHQ after the biggest defeat we have ever suffered, then I wouldn’t be doing my job.
My first list of appointments to the Lords are people who operate from first principles – Conservative principles. They have a track record of defending conservatism against the long march of the left in our institutions.
We believe Kemi recognises the need to rebuild our Party based on Conservative principles. This means having a plan to re-engineer the way government works – at local, devolved, and national levels.
More and more jobs are related not to providing goods and services in the marketplace, but are instead focused around administering government rules.
Also, a balanced Parliamentary Party requires a diverse pipeline of candidates – this means diversity of background and thought.
This is about the future, and I am building a Conservative Party for the next decade, and the next generation.
