Brilliant to be on the long list to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London. I’m looking forward to the competition and can’t wait to speak to members all over our great city. Together, we will make London a city we can all be proud of again.

And we demolished reform in a head to head town council by-election THEY CALLED and spent tens of thousands of national spend on Ward is essentially contiguous with the district council ward boundary. See the result for earlier in the year versus now @Conservatives 75% (+30) @reformparty_uk 25% (-7%} Reform decrease almost exactly tracks their national polling performance and swing to tories mirrors both an better conservative fortunes, and a v low toxicity amongst voters when the choice is hardworking Conservatives under @KemiBadenoch or @Nigel_Farage (who visited my constituency during the campaign) and his fishy five million

Great to be at the Embassy of Finland's Autumn Reception tonight, marking the strength of the UK/Finland relationship. Thank you to for a warm welcome and a thoughtful speech. From NATO to defence tech and resilience, Finland is one of our closest partners. 🇬🇧🇫🇮

Great panel at #DefenceDisrupted on the changing nature of warfare, chaired by Dr Michelle Howard with Denys Demko of @UkrEmbLondon, MOD CTO Mivy James and Amelia Gould of Kraken. Ukraine and Iran show that tech and economic pressure now shape wars. The UK must be the best place to build and back defence tech.

Great to be at @ASI tonight for the launch of the 2026 Global Energy Security Index, introduced by @AndrewBowie_MP. The UK ranks 41st, behind war-torn Ukraine. Rushed Net Zero targets have left us with sky-high bills and a fragile grid. We need affordable energy made in Britain.

Excited to come out of stealth today with @amphiotech A few years ago, I was writing reports on why the West can't build anymore. Then I went to work for one of Europe's fastest-growing research companies and realised the election-grade tools to win were sitting right there. So we built a company that points them at critical infrastructure. If you're building something, get in touch at amphio.com
This week, the capital of AI - San Francisco - paused construction of all new data centres. Across the West, $130bn of projects were blocked in the first quarter of 2026 alone. Not by capital, not by energy, not by engineering. By the people who live there. Today we launch amphio.com to arm the people building critical infrastructure with the election-grade data they need to win these fights. Using on-the-ground researchers who gather the local knowledge an online survey written hundreds of miles away cannot pick up, we mass-measure public opinion and model it down to individual neighbourhoods against a database of over 300 million adults. The projects that get built in this decade will be the ones that understand the ground they're being built on.

Back from #CPC26 and straight out campaigning for the fantastic Ewan Cameron in today’s Holborn and St Pancras by-election. The reaction to @KemiBadenoch’s speech here has been fantastic!

That's a wrap for #CPC26 topped off with a barnstorming speech by the leader @KemiBadenoch in which she outlined what a future Conservative government would look like: making everyone better off with a raft of Conservative policies built on sound Conservative principles. – at Birmingham, England

Londoners deserve a safe, affordable city where they can buy a home, enjoy a great night out and raise a family. Great to join @CPSThinkTank this morning to discuss how we make that happen.

Absolutely packed room in Birmingham for @KemiBadenoch's keynote conference speech. The energy here at #CPC26 has been incredible - this is a Party ready to take the fight to Andy Burnham.
