Dear Member,
Labour’s bungling of their own decision to delay elections has changed the election battlefield overnight.
All parties now have to fight a bigger campaign than we planned for.
You know that there is only one serious party in politics today and that’s us.
Labour has bumbled into one catastrophic decision after another, with U-turn after U-turn.
Reform have been holding press conferences, offering nothing but psychodrama and even more U-turns.
We cannot allow these parties to do even more damage than they have already.
That’s why we’re rebuilding the Conservative Party to ensure it can fight on all fronts, and most importantly do the job of limiting Labour’s damage to our lives and the economy.
Just before Christmas, Labour had a partial U-turn on Labour’s family farm tax plans. This did not happen by accident. It happened because Conservatives were united, with a strong team and a plan to fix this.
We didn’t just campaign in our constituencies, we also campaigned against hundreds of Labour MPs who had farms in their communities.
We worked closely with the farming community, exposed the damage and kept the pressure on until they had to change their minds. That sort of work needs funding, and that’s why we need your help.
Two weeks ago, I forced the Prime Minister to admit on the floor of the House of Commons what he knew about the details of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
That admission has triggered the release of government papers that will expose more of the ineptitude of this Labour government. And even better, the grilling ended with the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff and Head of Communications losing their jobs.
This is what effective opposition looks like: relentless, focused, and on the side of the people who work hard and play by the rules.
It is clear we are the only opposition to Labour in Parliament, and these local elections will help us get more troops and more wins. This means we can defend those areas that are under attack from Liberal Democrats and Reform.
But here’s the blunt truth. None of this happens without you. The organisation, the data, the digital reach, the leaflets, the candidates, the ground game all cost money, and we need you to help.
So I’m asking you to donate today, because the timing matters.
Your donation will help us:
Labour has the government machine. Reform has noise and rallies. We have conviction, and we have supporters like you.
You stuck with us when it would have been easier to walk away. You did it because you believe Britain can be better than high tax, low growth, weak borders, and politics that rewards the chancers and punishes the law-abiding.
If you can, please donate now. Don’t put it off until tomorrow, please do it today.
The campaign has already started, and the decisions we make in the next few weeks will decide whether we win or watch other parties take root locally for years.
Yours,
Kemi Badenoch
Leader of the Conservative Party
