Campaigns @UKOnward + Director @ConsYIMBY
Update: have hung up my patagonia and returned to the bubble to head up campaigns at @ukonward Without growth, nothing else can be achieved—it must be our central mission on the right.
Last week, Shadow CDL @alexburghart warned @ukonward about economic meltdown, widespread social unrest*, and political crisis. One of the three was proven true within hours. I fear the others will be soon, too. My @ConHome write up 🔗 👇 *the first politician to do so.
🔥 “every last flicker of hope has been all but extinguished in Labour’s YIMBY movement. Yet those ideas still live on in the Conservatives”. Searing piece from former Founder of @LabourYIMBY @CJAWorrall. We welcome him to @consyimby and the @Conservatives with open arms.
From @CJAWorrall I didn’t leave the Labour Party because it changed. I left because it refused to conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/chr…
Chris is one of the most principled and hard working people I know. It’s a damning indictment of Labour that he can’t find a home in his party for these ideas. If the Tories focus on becoming the place for people like Chris they may become an electoral force again

Pleased to welcome @CJAWorrall to the @consyimby family. Chris is right to identify aspiration as the key to enabling our great country to thrive, and housing is a big part of making things work better for hardworking families. This is common ground politics.

A great article from @CJAWorrall founder of LabourYIMBY on why he is now supporting the @Conservatives - conservativehome.com/2025/07/23/chr…
Well done to @CJAWorrall. Chris knows only the centre-right will bring the fundamental change our great country needs. A good friend - I look forward to making the journey with him 👇

This is a really powerful piece from @CJAWorrall - a deep thinker whose journey from Labour to the Conservatives is interesting and important👇

This is why we need The Prosperity Package👇 We can keep the Non Doms in the UK with a fair arrangement that works for everyone 💥 ukonward.com/reports/the-pr…
.@GoldmanSachs CEO @DavidSolomon with stark warning on London's "fragile" leadership position in global finance. Specifically on Non Dom: "If you create tax policy or incentives that push people away you harm your economy & don't drive revenue increases." podfollow.com/1817704682
Cleverly need his cap 🧢 @consyimby
"Tories need to remake the argument for conservatism and capitalism...and build more homes. They must also cut red tape to enable Britain to build vital infrastructure to inculcate a new generation of optimism" Very encouraging stuff from James last year 👇
Sadly, @alexburghart’s warnings from last week are becoming more prescient. I think I’m right in saying he was the first mainstream politician to talk about this; good to see that Farage followed his lead. Others should watch Burghart’s speech to @ukonward x.com/jamespriceglos…
Barely anyone in SW1 insider class (politicians / ‘hacks’ etc) understands the rising anger in (mainly but not only) England. Obsessed with reshuffles, speeches blah blah - but reality is a hot August is not looking good. Urgent action is needed - but instead all going on holiday
Beggars belief. Keir Starmer says “there’s lots of housing.” Angela Rayner insists “there is plenty of housing.” Maybe someone should brief them: For millions, it’s just not the kind you can afford, find, or live in.
This is why I left Labour! Absolutely tone deaf comparing people concerned about asylum seeker hotels to black shirts.
Statement from the Tower Hamlets Labour Group:
Congratulations to the main speaker of the inaugural James Dinner held last year, @JamesCleverly, on his return to the front bench for the Tories! I rashly over-criticised Cleverly's IPPR speech last week. Whilst it was widely reported that he was less than radical on Whitehall…
Huge thank you to @jamespriceglos for organising this wonderfully silly event. Thank you to every James/Jamie in the room for raising funds for @CR_UK
We are ready to rumble here at Onward HQ! Generation Extreme with @Katie_Lam_MP @SirSimonClarke @PMArslanagic @JulianGallie
NEW: Poll of 2000 British adults for @ukonward on their new ‘Prosperity Package’ proposal: tax exemptions for those investing millions in the UK ⚫️Support for the Prosperity Package came to a net 38% ⚫️Labour voters have a net support of 41% for the package
Thank you for everything Kevin. It was an absolute pleasure working with you #BuildBabyBuild
I am honoured to have been appointed Chairman of the Conservative Party. I want to pay tribute to my predecessors, Nigel Huddleston and Lord (Dominic) Johnson, whose dedication and hard work have laid the foundations for the future. Their efforts in navigating challenging times…
