Dear John

We’re down to the last two. And it’s awful. 

Either Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss is set to become the next PM. They will be elected by a base of around 160,000 Tory members - around 0.3% of the UK’s total electorate.

Unless you’re part of that 0.3%, you won’t get a say in who becomes our next PM. You won’t get a chance to make change. 

We’re angry at this unrepresentative way of making huge changes to our political establishment, and we’re angry that changing the tenant at Number 10, won’t actually mean change for the better. 

Whether it’s Sunak or Truss, the future looks pretty bleak. Both candidates have signalled their intention to press ahead with breaking international law by unilaterally overturning the Northern Ireland Protocol. Both have taken a deeply unpleasant populist stance on deportations of those fleeing persecution to Rwanda, and both have failed to come up with clear policies to tackle the climate emergency we’re facing. 

Neither candidate offers the change Britain needs. 

We’re not going to sit idly by and pretend everything is great just because Johnson is on his way out. Instead, we’re going to keep advocating for the change you need. 

Whether it’s detailed behind-the-scenes work to reform damaging legislation, meetings with parliamentarians to urge for a fairer voting system, or social media campaigns to engage people with a better politics, we’re fighting to get this nativist, isolationist and damaging regime out of Westminster once and for all. 

For that, we need your support. 

Whether you can pledge long-term support and become a regular donor for just £5 a month, or whether you can only afford a one-off donation for now, everything you contribute gets used for our vital work. 

We don’t have fancy offices, we don’t have grand social events. What we do have is a team with passion, drive and real integrity who are fighting their utmost to change British politics for the better. 

Support our team today, and support a better future for Britain.

Thank you for everything you do.

Best wishes,

Naomi Smith
CEO, Best for Britain
