Dear John
Boris Johnson resigns
Time for Conservatives to elect a
leader who will repair his damage
During his tenure, Johnson has degraded every standard, undermined
every institution and discredited the UK at every opportunity and
after today's stampede of long-overdue resignations, his sinking ship
has at last hit the sea bed.
I'm not sad to see him go, I'm angry that it's taken
this long. I'm angry at all the missed opportunities, the
people drowning in the cost of living crisis, the way he has steered
our country away from our closest allies in Europe and I am angry our
democracy and political system have been tarnished so very badly.
We fought him every step of the way. Together, we forced him to
make changes to the antidemocratic Elections Bill and Policing Bill.
Together, we have worked to make the case for a better, closer
relationship with Europe - most recently getting him to accept the
need for more visas for EU workers. And together, we will keep
standing against the nativism, corruption and contempt for democracy
that Johnson represents.
John, I need to ask you to make a monthly donation to
the campaign fund. Thousands of Best for Britain supporters
already support the campaign with donations each month and we must be
prepared to win the battles that come next.
Johnson's successor must change tack. The Conservative Party
must elect a leader the UK can trust both to tell the truth and to
repair the damage wrought by Boris Johnson both at home and
abroad. The people of the UK cannot wait. People are
facing hardship right now, businesses are struggling to trade with the
EU right now, voters are losing faith with democracy right now.
What I want - what Best for Britain will always work for - is
for the UK to have the closest possible relationship with the EU, for
a more open and compassionate immigration system, for the ties that
bind us to our friends around the world to be truly recognised as
vital to the future of our country and for better, fairer, uncorrupted
democracy in our own land.
To achieve these aims - and I know they are huge goals to set -
Best for Britain needs your support.

What comes next is a leadership election, a new Prime Minister in
the Autumn and, hopefully, a change of direction for the country.
I know, and you know, we cannot let up the pressure on
this government or the Conservative Party. Your support right
now and over the coming months will mean the campaign can prepare for
any outcome.
We will be lobbying the new PM, campaigning for the changes in
direction and the priorities they should set. We will be preparing our
General Election campaign, because that won't be far behind.
If you can, become a regular supporter today. Your
influence is greater the earlier you confirm your support.
Together we can change the future of this country, and all those who
are currently suffering cannot wait for us to take our time over
it.
Thank you, for supporting Best for Britain in every way that
you do,
Naomi Smith
CEO, Best for
Britain
PS. Becoming
a regular supporter gets you access to exclusive content, events and
news and a free gift from our online shop. I want you,
John, to be an integral part of this campaign. We have so
much to do to repair the damage Johnson has caused. It starts with
you, now.
