Absolutely delighted that Michael has been selected as the Conservative candidate for Makerfield.
Michael is not only a first-class Conservative, but a genuinely good man: hardworking, loyal, grounded, and someone who truly believes in service and community!

We asked the questions. Now weโve got answers.
After meeting residents across Tebay, Shap, Kirkby Stephen & surrounding areas, we pushed these issues in Parliament - & action is underway.
This is about listening, acting, and delivering for Cumbria.
They arenโt serious.
Have you ever heard a Liberal set out a defence policy? Or even a single policy they all agree on?
Voting Liberal is opting out of the serious choices facing our country - itโs the very definition of non-serious politics.
I stand with our allies in the US and Israel as they face the ongoing threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran and its regime.
This is the same regime that has attacked the UK, continues to pursue nuclear weapons that would threaten our security, and has brutally repressed pro-democracy protests, killing many of its own people.
The Future Leaders Essay Collection for the Coalition for Global Prosperityโs 2025 cohort has just been launched, featuring my own essay alongside work from an impressive group of peers.
In my piece, drawing on my time in Uganda with CGP and the Future Leaders programme, I argue that if Britain is to retain influence abroad and keep people safe at home, defence and aid must stop being framed as alternatives and instead be designed, measured, and justified as part of the same strategy.
With keynote contributions from Dame Penny Mordaunt, Baroness Curran, and Ambassador Manar Dabbas, the collection is well worth a read for anyone interested in foreign policy and Britainโs global role.

When Margaret Thatcher took over the Conservatives, she faced infighting, constant doubt, and open resistance.
Her ideas were derided. She held her nerve, and she prevailed.
Fast forward to 2026 โก๏ธ Kemi Badenoch faces the same noise: defections, internal battles, and relentless pressure.
Same resolve. Same steel. ๐ช
The torch has been passed! ๐ฅ
