Ayoub, “Local elections don’t matter”  I can’t count how many times I’ve heard that. In normal years, it’s wrong. But next year it couldn’t be further from the truth.  That’s because with the 2020 local elections rightly suspended, we now face the colossal challenge of a double election round next year.  Which means I urgently need your help to double our resources to fight these unprecedented elections >> Make a Donation There simply isn’t a replacement to a well resourced campaign. And next year there will be thousands:  Over 5,000 council elections – many in areas which voted Conservative for the first time in 2019, making it vital we stand in every seat.  40 Police and Crime Commissioners – these elections will decide how our police are run, and with the Opposition's track record we can’t risk abandoning any candidate.  13 mayoral contests – which will decide if our levelling up agenda can truly be enacted across the entire country.  Scottish and Welsh parliamentary elections – where it’s vital we hold the SNP and Welsh Labour to account and defend our Union.  Ayoub, unless we can double our resources we won’t be able to rise to this challenge >> Donate £10 Donate £25 Donate £50 Donate Other Amount These elections aren’t just a test for us but for Labour too. Because for the first time Keir Starmer will be forced to step out of his bubble and speak to real voters. So Ayoub, if you can help, we need to start preparing today. Will you donate to my urgent appeal and allow us to rise to this challenge >> I know with you by my side we can succeed again. Yours sincerely,  Boris Johnson Leader of the Conservative Party
