Iโm humbled to have been elected as Chairman of the @Conservatives National Convention. Thank you to all who supported me, and to those who put themselves forward for election for all of the roles. Time to get to work! ๐
Thank you to my Conservative colleagues for nominating me to serve a second year as Chairman of the National Convention. ๐
As One Conservative Team we will continue to refresh and rebuild our party under @KemiBadenoch, and expose the failings of this terrible Labour govt. ๐ฅ
Reading Zia Yusufโs resignation statement on Thursdayโฆ."I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my timeโฆ" made me reflect on my own position, in terms of what I do for the Conservative Party and why... (1/n) ๐งต
Today @KemiBadenoch and I have written on @ConHome about the need to select potential MPs who can not only be local champions but also be effective in running the country as part of a future government:

And congratulations to @ClareHambro ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Fantastics results, driven by grassroots Conservatives - speaking to residents on the doorsteps and delivering for them consistently in our town halls. ๐
This is absolutely โa good use of my timeโ, and I know that the same goes for thousands of Conservatives up and down the country - and will do for decades into the future just as it has done for decades in the past. ๐ (5/5)
Off to London for The Result.
@RobertJenrick and @KemiBadenoch are both excellent candidates, and I will work relentlessly with whichever of them is declared Leader at 11am to rebuild and renew our Party, as will our thousands of activists up and down the country. ๐
Our national and regional voluntary party leaders met with @KemiBadenoch to discuss a range of issues yesterday, sharing views of our grassroots members.
Our volunteers commit amazing amounts of time and energy and itโs vital that they are fully listened to and recognised. ๐
To all my Conservative friends and colleagues, I wish you a Happy New Year, and the very best in all of our endeavours this year. We have turned the page on a difficult 2024, and can face 2025 afresh.
We are all part of one large, complex organisation andโฆ (1/3)
Thank you @kevinhollinrake for the call just now as our new Party Chairman, and congratulations! I and the rest of the @Conservatives National Convention and voluntary party look forward to working with you. ๐๐ช
A super event to mark 50 years since Margaret Thatcher became Leader of the @Conservatives - a huge break from the past, and one which would change the course of the country. @KemiBadenoch and others gave powerful yet touching tributes. ๐
