London needs more than an administrator. It needs a champion, someone who understands its potential and is prepared to fight for its future.
That’s why I’m running to be the Conservative Candidate for London Mayor.

At Christmas we mark the birth of Christ. A wonderful story of hope, humility and peace at the most special time of year.
Christmas is a time for making merry and seeing friends, but more than anything, it’s about family.
That’s why, to those working tomorrow and spending time away from their loved ones, I want to say thank you for keeping the country going.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
“Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter. The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others.”
In this year’s Christmas Broadcast or ‘King’s Speech’, His Majesty reflects on the theme of the journey, in religious life and more broadly. You can now watch in full on:
- The Royal Family Channel on YouTube.
- @BBCNews, @ITV and @SkyUK in the UK.

There are no words good enough to express the horror of this.
The killing of Charlie Kirk is a blow to everything Western civilization stands for: open discourse, robust debate and peaceful dissent. He lived his life by those very principles, no matter the danger it put him in.
This may have happened far from our shores, but the rising intolerance of opposing views affects us all. We cannot turn a blind eye to it.
My thoughts are with Charlie’s family, his wife Erika, and their children.
Our Conservative family mourns the loss of Lord Tebbit today and I send my sincerest condolences to his loved ones.
Norman Tebbit was an icon in British politics and his death will cause sadness across the political spectrum. He was one of the leading exponents of the philosophy we now know as Thatcherism and his unstinting service in the pursuit of improving our country should be held up as an inspiration to all Conservatives.
As a minister in Mrs Thatcher’s administration he was one of the main agents of the transformation of our country, notably in taming the trade unions.
But to many of us it was the stoicism and courage he showed in the face of terrorism which inspired us as he rebuilt his political career after suffering terrible injuries in the Brighton bomb, and cared selflessly for his wife Margaret, who was gravely disabled in the bombing. A reminder that he was first and foremost a family man who always held true to his principles.
He never buckled under pressure and he never compromised.
Our nation has lost one of its very best today and I speak for all the Conservative family and beyond in recognising Lord Tebbit’s enormous intellect and profound sense of duty to his country.
May he rest in peace.
The work done by previous Conservative and Labour governments to improve education standards is under threat.
Keir Starmer’s government is going to put a wrecking ball through our education system 👇
“Across the Commonwealth, we are held together by a willingness to listen to each other, to learn from one another and to find just how much we have in common.”
