Working independently or in partnership, my colleague Mark Lucas of Silverfish Media and I offer strategy and comms advice to world leaders, political parties, CEOs, parliamentarians, charities and campaign groups.

Our values are compassion and community, and our mission is to help honest leaders connect, persuade, and succeed.

Occasionally we make our own, direct contributions to a debate; here’s one you might know.

I am director and founder of #takebackBritain, which brings together thousands of activists who oppose the current incarnation of the Conservative party, and works to support like-minded pro-democracy groups standing up for citizens’ rights, fair votes, rule of law, accountability, and decent, compassionate politics.

I am an occasional contributor to New Statesman and others, including The Observer, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph. Some of these are published on this website; see political entries in the blog and published articles.

I am a proud trustee of COVID:AID, the UK’s national charity dedicated to supporting those significantly affected by Covid-19. That’s a bold undertaking; please support us if you can.
