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.

Yusuf's performative outrage is fooling no one. Nigel Farage himself called these protesters ‘disgusting’. The truth is he’s arguing with his own leader, using me as cover as he tries to outflank Farage. This is a Reform power struggle, not a serious argument about Britain’s borders.

While Reform are mired in scandal and turning on each other, the Conservatives are putting Andy Burnham under pressure over what he's doing on the economy, the cost of living, welfare and national security. We’re also setting out how we will fund defence properly, cut taxes, take back our streets, stop the boats and restore control.

Reform can spend its time fighting over who gets to lead Reform. I’m only interested in Getting Britain Working again.

And as @rcolvile points out, the results in the parts of the UK that didn’t follow the Conservative education reforms haven’t performed so well.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

These results are in significant part because of the education reforms brought in by the last @Conservatives government.

Education reforms that are being denounced by Labour. Reforms that they say they want to reverse.

New PISA data out- and a huge success story. England is now a top-10 education system in the world. Outside of Asia, one of the highest.

New PISA 2025 results:

Science: 8th in the world, up from 13th
Reading: 9th, up from 13th
Maths: 10th, up from 11th.
While much of the OECD has gone backwards, England has has held its ground while most of the world has gone backwards. Huge achievement by school staff.

I prefer globes to maps (although they are not as practical when hill walking) because every map projection distorts something.

Now we don’t rely on charts, dividers, ruler, and pencil for maritime navigation we don’t need to use the Mercator projection as our standard depiction of the world.

Ports like London Gateway are vital for getting goods to London quickly and more cost effectively. They are also employment hubs.

That's why I went to visit them last week and discuss how they can help grow the UK economy 🎥👇

Faced with a choice between spending on military training and spending on benefits…

Labour chooses more benefits.

The Falkland Islands are British.

Islanders have the right to decide their own future - they have chosen to remain a self-governing UK Overseas Territory.

Giorgia Meloni now leads Italy’s longest-serving government since the Second World War.

A remarkable achievement for a woman written off by many when she came on the scene.

She’s shown what conviction, clarity & the courage to stand your ground can achieve.

A real inspiration!

British Army cuts training.

The Labour government should cut the welfare bill to properly fund the armed forces.
