Tory fundraising team putting in a shift. Party reports £6 million+ in donations for the first quarter of 2026 – an increase of 25% on the same period in Q1 of 2025.
A reminder why this govt is failing. Desperate for pro-business optics, @UKLabour backed a plan to demolish a fine Art Deco building and replace it with mediocrity. New buildings should always improve what stood before. I wrote about it for @Spectator:

A councillor walked past me this week in a panic. He'd lost his water bottle.
We are in London. It was April.
I've written about it here for the Spectator:

The water bottle is the perfect modern accessory: faintly virtuous, mildly performative and entirely unnecessary

Do you hear that? Silence.
Yet again the tube network has fallen silent due to strikes. Yet again businesses and Londoners are the victims.
The solution to breaking the union stranglehold is automation. But the Labour mayor, Transport Secretary, and PM just don’t care.
Proud to be part of the @wandsworth Conservatives turnout this afternoon - @aled_rj and his team are doing a brilliant job working the hell out of this campaign!
Really exciting and positive to see - @Conservatives back to their best 💪🏻
In an ideal world our taxes would be far lower and infinitely simpler. And in that world a trade off would definitely be fewer reliefs and deductions.
But that will be the far side of a government which was serious about cutting welfare and the size of the state. In the U.K. right now that seems as unlikely as a
sovereign space mission to land on Pluto.
The article below says it all. The penny pinching Chancellor undermining a useful scheme that channels risk capital into scale up businesses.
Especially disappointing is the defeaning silence on this from some of the so-called ‘business’ or ‘entrepreneur’ advisers around the Chancellor or other departments.
I've written an article for City A.M.
Britain needs to be attractive for investment and entrepreneurs. So when an oven-ready scheme arrives courtesy of @UKPrivateCap , the Govt has no excuse to not jump on it!..

Politics is about incentives. When you punish investment & reward mobility, people move. The exodus to Dubai isn't about sunshine, it’s about policy that has become hostile to aspiration.
I write for the Telegraph that these are unforced errors.
