NGT started because aspirational 20-40s were asked to pay the price for low growth.
Now the Conservatives are doing everything we asked for. We won.
👉 Abolishing Stamp Duty.
👉 Supply side infra and tax reform.
👉 Lowering NICS.
👉 Abolishing growth blocking Quangos.

Scrapping the £100k childcare cliff edge. ✅
Drives growth by incentivising work. Ends ‘Mt Henry’ bulge of people earning just under.
Tories firmly on the side of the aspirational once more. Exactly where we should be.

@KemiBadenoch is an exceptional leader. She believes deeply that we need to be a society where more people can take responsibility - for themselves, for their families, for their community.
That's why she has endorsed my new book 'The Ownership Society' - out today!

From @lukerobertblack £3.8bn could be spent on the NHS. Kemi should spend that on investors instead conservativehome.com/2026/07…

Great to join Westminster Insider to talk about Conservative renewal.
The path has to include the aspirational under 45s.
This pitch goes hand-in-hand with growth & supply side reform for tax and infra🤝
NEW ep 🎙️ Why are the Conservatives so cheery right now? The Tories should be benefiting from Labour chaos, but they’re not.

Kemi is popular and powerful. Strong enough to change the Conservatives.
That means a radical reshuffle. Appetite for rewriting our economic model. And “change” to cut through all comms.
Kemi, be ruthless ✍️

Message to young people in the last few months:
Conservatives: Abolish stamp duty, cut student loan repayments, more apprenticeships.
Reform: You haven’t paid in enough.

We have a money problem as much as a housing problem.
Too much UK capital is locked up in housing - it kills growth. Businesses are starved of growth capital and savers don’t get gains.
That’s why cutting stamp duty and getting people moving is such a priority 💵
