David Crabb: Leading for Britain - and his Mum.

David Crabb has leapt to prominence on social media, and X in particular by founding and leading a movement he calls 'Operation Albion'.

He is battling to set in motion the march back to the United Kingdom he and his family once knew.

David talked to Kevan James about his efforts.

KJMT - You are a big user of social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). You’ve gone from relative obscurity to having a significant presence with a large number of followers in a short time. How did you manage it when so many others can’t? Including us!

DC - Simple; say what no one else dares to say. Social media is full of fence sitters, cowards, and people too afraid of offending the wrong crowd. I refuse to play that game. I speak the raw, unfiltered truth about what’s happening in Britain, and people respond to that.

I also engage. Too many so called influencers just post and disappear. I fight in the trenches. I reply, I debate, I tear apart bad arguments, and I rally the people who feel ignored. That builds a movement, not just a following.

Finally, I know how to write for impact. I don’t do boring, wordy nonsense. Every post is a punch to the gut. You read it, you feel it, and you share it. That’s how you grow.

KJMT - There’s no doubt you write very well and are striking a chord with people. But social media is notorious for having massive numbers who will post all the right things and do nothing else. How does one persuade them to actually do something instead of just talking about it?

DC - Most people want to do something—they just don’t know how. The system has spent decades beating people into apathy and fear. They’ve been told they’ll lose their job, their reputation, or worse if they step out of line. That’s why most sit on the side lines, shouting into the void but never taking action.

The key is momentum and leadership. People need to feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves, a real movement, not just online rage. That’s why Operation Albion exists. It’s not just commentary - it’s a call to action. When people see others standing up, they find the courage to do the same.

I also give people something to fight for. It’s not enough to just rage at the problem we have to lay out solutions, show a path forward, and most importantly, make winning look possible. That’s how you turn passive supporters into warriors.

KJMT - So what do you do if you (and those others who speak out) remain as lone voices; the only ones actually making an effort?

DC- Then I keep going. One man can change everything. Every revolution, every uprising, every movement started with one person refusing to stay silent.

The establishment wants people to feel alone. They want you to think resistance is pointless. That’s why they push propaganda that says “most people don’t agree with you” or “just accept it, you can’t win.” But the truth is the opposite; the silent majority is on our side. They’re just waiting for someone to lead.

And here’s the thing: lone voices don’t stay lone for long. Look at history; one man speaks out, then another, then thousands. That’s already happening. Operation Albion is growing, people are waking up, and the reckoning is coming.

The difference between victory and defeat is not giving up.

KJMT - The UK has some serious problems currently, both as a society and with governance. Why have those problems arisen?

DC - Because Britain has been betrayed from within. The problems we face today, mass migration, cultural erosion, crime, economic collapse, broken institutions aren’t accidents. They’re the result of decades of deliberate sabotage by politicians who hate this country or are too weak to defend it.

Open borders & mass migration – entire communities transformed beyond recognition, without consent. Our leaders import voters, not skilled workers. Weak governance; spineless politicians who prioritise globalism over their own people. Cultural destruction; British history rewritten, free speech crushed, national pride turned into a sin. The collapse of law & order; Police chase tweets instead of criminals, while violent offenders walk free. An economic model built on debt & cheap labour. No investment in British workers, just endless reliance on foreign hands.

This didn’t just ‘happen.’ It was engineered. The political class, Labour, Tory, all of them sold Britain out. Now, we either fight to take it back, or we let them finish the job.

The reckoning is coming. Albion will rise.

KJMT - The Labour party has a dedicated hard core of support, and that support will always, always turn out and vote for them. Although substantial in numbers, it is still a minority of the population. No other party has that or has ever had that and it is why Labour does not win general elections; the Tories lose them – do you agree?

DC - Absolutely. Labour never wins, Tories just lose. The British public didn’t vote Labour because they love Starmer or his policies. They voted Labour because the Tories spent years betraying their own voters, breaking promises, and running the country into the ground.

Labour’s core base is made up of the dependent vote - those who rely on welfare and state handouts. The activist vote - radicals who push woke ideology and cultural destruction. The tribal vote - people who would vote for a bin if it had a red rosette.

Meanwhile, the Tories have repeatedly abandoned their own base, the working class, the middle class, the patriots, and the very people who keep this country running. That’s why Reform is rising. That’s why people are looking for a real alternative.

The next election won’t be about Labour vs. Tory. It will be about the people vs. the establishment.

KJMT - This was graphically demonstrated at the last GE in July 2024. Although due democratic process was followed, Labour were elected by a minority, not a majority. Should that be changed, should there be a minimum figure and if so what should that be?

DC - Yes, and it’s a disgrace that it hasn’t been fixed. No government should be able to take power without a majority of the electorate backing them. Labour won off the back of voter apathy and a broken system, not because the public actually wanted them.

At the very least, a government should need 50% of eligible voters to support them, otherwise it’s not a mandate, it’s a con. If they can’t reach that, we go again. Run-offs, second-round voting, whatever it takes because right now, we’re being governed by a party that most people didn’t vote for.

The establishment thrives on low turnout and voter disillusionment. They rely on the fact that millions stay home, disgusted with the choices. Fixing this system isn’t radical, it’s basic democracy.

It’s time to stop letting minority rule dictate Britain’s future.

KJMT - People are critical of First Past the Post (FPTP) and many now say it should be replaced by some form of Proportional Representation (PR). But PR – whatever version of it has been used – has been shown to result in deals behind closed doors, and horse-trading of one kind or another. Do we really want that in the UK?

DC - No, and anyone pushing for PR should be careful what they wish for. Proportional Representation doesn’t mean fairer elections; it means constant chaos.

Look at Europe: PR systems lead to weak coalition governments, endless backroom deals, and parties with tiny support ending up with huge power. The result - no accountability, no strong leadership, and policies decided by political haggling, not the people.

First Past the Post isn’t perfect, but it’s clear and decisive; you win the most votes in a constituency, you take the seat. No murky deals, no stitched up coalitions, no extremist fringe parties dictating national policy.

Want real change? Fix the two party stranglehold, reform local democracy, and make elections mean something again. But PR isn’t the answer - it’s a gift to the political class, not the people.

KJMT - FPTP is simple, straightforward, easy to understand and administer. Why change it?

DC - Exactly. It works. The political class hates First Past the Post because it forces them to actually win seats, rather than sneak into power through backroom coalition deals.

FPTP ensures clear winners and losers No drawn-out negotiations, no uncertainty. Accountability; you know exactly who represents your area. No hiding behind party lists. Stability; Britain doesn’t need a government collapsing every 18 months because a bunch of tiny parties throw their toys out of the pram.

The people calling for change don’t want fairness; they want a system that benefits their own side. FPTP isn’t perfect, but it’s the best way to stop the political class from playing games with democracy.

Want real reform? Fix the parties, fix the candidates, and fix voter turnout. But don’t break the system just because Labour and the Lib Dems can’t win under it.

KJMT - There are tweaks that could be made, like a minimum turnout requirement for the result to be valid. As I’ve often said, bad governments are elected by people who do not vote; how about making voting compulsory?

DC - No. Forced voting isn’t democracy; it’s coercion. If people don’t want to vote, that’s their choice. The real issue isn’t turnout - its why are people not voting?

Millions stay home because they know none of these parties represent them. Forcing them to choose between different shades of betrayal won’t fix the problem, it’ll just create resentful, meaningless votes.

Want higher turnout? Give people something worth voting for. Make elections matter. Give voters real choices, not the same globalist puppets in different colours.

And if a government is elected on pathetically low turnout? Then it’s not a real mandate. Instead of forcing people to vote, force politicians to earn their votes. That’s how you fix democracy.

KJMT - One of those tweaks could be the inclusion of a ‘None of the above’ (NOTA) option on ballot papers. If we have the right to select our representatives, should we not have the right to reject those on offer and demand alternative candidates?

DC - Yes, 100%. If we’re forced to pick from a bunch of liars, traitors, and incompetents, then that’s not democracy, it’s a rigged game.

A ‘None of the above’ option would be a direct challenge to the establishment. If NOTA won a majority in a constituency, all candidates should be disqualified, and new ones must be put forward. No more career politicians skating into power because they’re the 'least worst' option.

Of course, the political class would fight this tooth and nail because they know they’d lose. They rely on apathy to keep them in power. A NOTA option would force them to actually earn votes instead of sleepwalking into office.

This is exactly the kind of real democratic reform Britain needs. Give people the power to say, “None of you are good enough—try again”.

KJMT - How about Primaries? As things stand, we can pick from official party candidates, selected by sometimes obscure methods, imposed on us and that’s it. Or, if there are a range of people offering themselves, could we hold a primary to cut the number down. And…if an official party candidate is rejected, they don’t get to stand.

For example, let’s take an obvious one; Kier Starmer. Holborn & St Pancras will present him as the official Labour candidate; what if there were 2 or 3 ‘Independent Labour’ candidates (as well as those independent of any party and of other parties) and in a primary, Starmer is not selected by that primary vote. He’s gone; he is out of the race and on GE day, voters select one from those remaining. Or vote for none, in which case a new election must be held with new candidates as none could stand again, including Starmer. In other words, we have a two-stage general election. How about all of that?

DC - Yes. Primaries would break the stranglehold of the political elites. Right now, the public gets no say in who stands for election as party machines select the candidates, and we’re expected to just take it. That’s how we end up with spineless, out of touch career politicians like Keir Starmer, who wouldn’t last five minutes if he had to actually earn his place.

A primary system would put power back in the hands of voters, not party bosses; force candidates to prove themselves before Election Day; kill off parachuted MPs who are dumped into safe seats with no connection to the area.

And if 'None of the above' wins? Then the entire slate gets thrown out, and we start again. No more default victories for useless politicians.

The establishment would hate this because it would end their little club - which is exactly why we should do it; power to the people, not the parties.

KJMT - What about postal voting, where do you stand on that?

DC - Scrap it except for the genuinely disabled and military personnel. Postal voting is a fraudster’s dream, a gift to vote-riggers, and a massive threat to election integrity.

Look at the facts; mass postal voting equals mass corruption. It’s been abused in the UK before, especially in areas with 'community voting blocks.' No real checks. Ballots get 'harvested,' filled in by activists, and dumped in bulk. It erodes secret ballots; postal voting makes it easy for family pressure, intimidation, and fraud.

Other countries don’t tolerate this nonsense. In France, postal voting was banned decades ago for being too open to fraud. If the French can figure this out, why can’t we?

If you want fair elections - ban mass postal voting. Make people vote in person with ID. If you can’t be bothered to turn up, maybe you don’t care enough to vote.

Election security should come before convenience - One person, one vote, at polling stations; simple.

KJMT - One thing that can’t be denied about FPTP is its simplicity. You stand, you get more votes than anybody else, and you win the seat.

Is there really, and I mean really, a better system?

DC - No, there isn’t. FPTP is brutal, simple, and it works. The person with the most votes wins, end of story.

The only people who moan about it are losers who can’t win under it. Labour, Lib Dems, Greens all crying because they think they 'deserve' more power, despite the fact that voters keep rejecting them.

What’s the alternative? PR means endless backroom deals, weak coalitions, and chaos. Look at Italy - new government every five minutes. Run-off elections - just drags everything out, wastes money, and gives establishment parties more chances to fix the result. Some 'hybrid' nonsense - more bureaucracy, more confusion, and still manipulated by the political class.

FPTP is clear, decisive, and gives strong leadership. If you want power, win more votes; simple.

The real issue isn’t FPTP - it’s who is on the ballot. Fix the candidates, and the system will take care of itself.

KJMT - X is still the most widely used social media platform but despite its owner repeatedly going on about free speech, it is one of the most heavily censored sites one can find. Restrictions on who and how many users see which posts are legion and it is quite easy to have one’s account terminated, or suspended as they call it. What’s your view on that aspect?

DC - X talks about free speech, but in reality, it’s still rigged. Shadow banning, algorithmic suppression, and outright bans still happen daily.

Look at what gets censored: Criticism of mass migration - suddenly, your posts don’t reach as many people. Defending women’s rights against Tran’s ideology - instant throttling. Calling out media lies - Visibility filtering kicks in.

Meanwhile, actual extremists, far-left agitators, and pro-criminal activists can say whatever they like.

Musk improved things slightly, but the system still leans towards protecting the establishment and silencing the dissenters. It’s designed to make people feel like they’re shouting into the void, so they give up.

The answer - keep speaking. Keep growing. Break the algorithm with numbers. The more people push back, the harder it is for them to control the narrative.

Censorship only works if we let it. We won’t.

KJMT - Is the biggest danger to your ability to carry on as you are, X itself? You seem to have slipped under their radar so far but what will you do if your account is removed by them?

DC - X is a tool, not the mission. If they nuke my account, I rebuild. If they silence me there, I take the fight elsewhere. They can ban an account, but they can’t kill a movement.

The establishment wants people to think their power comes from a single platform. It doesn’t. It comes from the people who believe in the message.

So if X pulls the plug, here’s what happens next - Operation Albion continues the network, the real-world fight. Alternative platforms - Substack, Telegram, direct email lists. Bigger than social media this isn’t just about posts, it’s about action.

They can shut down one voice. They can’t shut down thousands.

So no, I’m not worried. If they come for me, it just proves I was right all along.

KJMT - You’ve commented about an increase on ‘dirty tricks’ as your popularity has risen. Are you really prepared for that and able to withstand it?

DC - Of course. The more effective you are, the harder they come for you. That’s the game, and I knew the rules before I stepped in.

They’ll try everything: Smears & hit pieces, calling me racist, extremist, dangerous - standard playbook. De-platforming attempts, try to cut off my reach - won’t work. Doxxing & intimidation - laughable. I don’t scare easy.

But here’s the thing—if they had real arguments, they wouldn’t need dirty tricks. The fact they resort to lies and suppression proves I’m over the target.

So am I ready? More than ready. I welcome it. Because every attack just makes the movement stronger.

They can throw what they like—I don’t break.

KJMT - You are very strident about England. What about Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – are they not just as important?

DC - Of course they matter. But here’s the truth: England has been treated like a cash machine for decades, funding everything while being given nothing in return.

Scotland gets its own parliament. England - nothing. Wales and Northern Ireland get devolved powers. England - ignored. Billions in subsidies flow out of England, but English voices are side lined.

I want strong, sovereign nations across the UK but if England doesn’t stand up for itself, who will? That’s why I focus on it. Because no one else does.

Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland should have self-determination. But England? It deserves the same. If the UK is to survive, it has to be built on respect, not imbalance.

Right now, England gets none. And that’s why I fight for it.

KJMT - Are you in favour of remigration – the forced expulsion of people, some of whom have been here for many, many years, and those who were born here, now in their second and even third generations?

DC - Forced expulsion? No. But mass deportation of criminals, illegals, and those who refuse to integrate? Absolutely.

Illegal entrants? Gone. No debate. Foreign criminals? Deported immediately - why are we housing them in UK prisons? Radicals and extremists who despise Britain? Out. No more harbouring those who wish to destroy us.

But let’s be real: Britain isn’t a hotel, and citizenship isn’t a free pass. If people come here, they should contribute, integrate, and respect British culture. If they don’t, they have no place here.

This isn’t 'remigration,' its self-respect. A nation that doesn’t control who stays and who goes isn’t a nation; it’s a free-for-all.

Britain belongs to those who love it, build it, and fight for it. Not those who exploit it.

KJMT - A point I have made is that we keep on about ‘illegal migration’ and ‘refugees.’ But the people most are referring to are those crossing the channel in small boats or hiding in vehicles or any other means of gaining entry to the UK. In truth, they are neither – they are illegal entrants and have broken UK law by entering the country illegally. Do you think it would help if we got the terminology right?

DC - 100%. Language shapes reality, and right now, the establishment uses soft, misleading terms to cover up what’s really happening.

They call them 'asylum seekers.' No. They’re illegal entrants who bypassed safe countries to get here. They call it 'irregular migration' No. It’s criminal activity, aided by smugglers. They say 'refugees.' But real refugees seek asylum in the first safe country, not shop around for benefits.

This isn’t an immigration crisis. It’s an invasion. And until we start calling it what it is, the problem won’t be fixed.

Step one: Stop the boats. Step two: Deport those who came illegally. Step three: Punish those who enable it.

The British public isn’t stupid. They see the lies. It’s time the politicians caught up.

KJMT - Another point I have raised is that illegal entry is not a British problem or a French problem. It is a European problem. By that I mean all of Europe, not just the EU and it will only be dealt with by a Europe-wide approach. Do you agree and what should that approach be?

DC - Yes, illegal migration isn’t just a British problem it’s a Western collapse problem. Every major European country is struggling under mass migration, yet their leaders refuse to act.

France? Refugee camps and riots in the streets. Germany? Open-door policies they can’t reverse. Italy and Greece? Overrun as the first landing points.

The UK is seen as the final destination because of our weak laws and generous welfare. That’s why they keep coming.

So what’s the solution? Military-grade border security - stop pretending these are 'refugees' and treat this like the crisis it is. Deportation deals with safe countries. If Rwanda isn’t enough, get more lined up. End the asylum shopping loophole. You pass through safe countries - you don’t get to pick the UK. Punish the smugglers and their enablers. NGOs and activists helping illegals should face charges.

Europe either gets serious or collapses under its own weakness. It’s that simple.

KJMT - One inevitable accusation that will arise (if it hasn’t already) is that you are a white supremacist, a racist.

Are you?

DC - The classic lazy attack, from people who have no real argument. When they can’t refute what you’re saying, they just scream “racist” and hope you shut up.

Want strong borders - Racist. Believe in British culture - Far-right. Think women deserve single-sex spaces - Bigot.

It’s pathetic. Nothing I say is about race - it’s about Britain. If you love this country, contribute, and respect its values, I don’t care where you’re from. If you want to dismantle it, exploit it, or erase its identity, then you are the problem - regardless of skin colour.

The real supremacists are the ones telling Brits they must apologise for their history, surrender their culture, and accept decline without a fight.

Not happening. Call me what you like, it won’t stop the truth.

KJMT - Everybody knows who you are, yet you changed the name of your X account name recently – why do that? Do you think you might lose credibility and be subject to accusations of hiding? After all, one of the most frequent criticisms of social media is that people do indeed hide behind anonymous user names.

DC - This was never about me—it’s about Britain. A movement that lives beyond one name, one voice, one individual.

Movements win. Personalities fade. The establishment attacks individuals because individuals can be silenced, de-platformed, erased. But they can’t kill an idea.

Operation Albion isn’t a brand—it’s a battle standard. A rallying point for those who refuse to kneel. A force, not a follower.

This isn’t about hiding. It’s about building something bigger; a cause; a reckoning; a mission.

KJMT - You founded a movement, an organisation, calling it ‘Operation Albion (OA).’ Would it not have been better for that to be separate from you personally? It could be known as Operation Albion, founded by David Crabb, who is the owner, director, CEO or whatever title you adopt. You would then have your own X account, and a second one for OA. Why don’t you?

I have the same with KJM Today – it is a news outlet, follows the same guidelines as all other regular media, and I’m the managing Editor. I had my own X account, using my real name and KJMT has its own X account. Until of course, X and its automated systems decided I was ‘inauthentic’ (their word) and canned my account.

DC - Because this isn’t a corporate project, it’s a fight. And fights need leaders, not bureaucratic titles.

Operation Albion is a mission, not a media brand. It’s not about me having a 'personal' X account and a 'business' one. This isn’t a game of PR, it’s a war for Britain’s future.

The people backing Operation Albion aren’t following a logo or a faceless organisation, they’re rallying behind a cause and the people willing to fight for it. Right now, that’s me. Tomorrow, it could be others.

Movements grow, evolve, and take on lives of their own. That’s the goal. But I won’t waste time playing at corporate structure when we’re in a battle for the soul of this nation. I lead from the front, not from behind a desk.

KJMT - As things stand, OA is something of a one-man band – you. If it is to grow, and I assume you want it to otherwise its influence may be rather limited, at some point you will have to recruit others to help you.

Will you?

Where do you see OA going? Is it a focus group, a lobbying group a pressure group – what? Where do you want it to go?

DC - Right now, I lead from the front but this isn’t a one-man mission forever. Movements grow. Operation Albion isn’t some think tank writing polite reports; it’s a force; a pressure movement; a reckoning.

Where does it go? Simple: As far as it needs to.

A megaphone for the silent majority, the voice the establishment fears. A rallying point uniting those who refuse to be ignored. A pressure movement forcing politicians to listen, exposing their failures, and making inaction impossible.

This isn’t about fitting into neat categories. It’s about shifting the tide of the national conversation. When the movement is strong enough, it will expand beyond me because it has to.

One man starts the fight. A movement finishes it. And that’s exactly what’s happening.

KJMT - You have, in addition, your own site, using your real name. Where does that fit in alongside OA?

DC - I don’t have a website, never needed one. The fight is happening out in the open, in real time. Operation Albion isn’t about sitting behind a screen writing blog posts, it’s about direct engagement, pressure, and action.

The establishment wants people playing by the old rules; websites, policy papers, polite lobbying. That’s not how you change a country.

Operation Albion is a movement, not a website. And it’s growing where the battle is actually being fought.

KJMT - I’m not talking about a website for OA – I’m referring to your own site, the one that carries your name, David Crabb; the one that people subscribe to and ‘buy you a beer’ as you say. There’s nothing wrong with doing it, it’s admirable and you deserve praise for making a stand. That also applies to others who do the same, even if their view differs. So my question remains – how do you make David Crabb fit alongside Operation Albion?

DC - I have a donations page on http://buymeacoffee.com/secenlightuk where I also offer subscriptions so people can either subscribe there or on X. I then publish my articles on both sites.

KJMT - You’ve posted already that you are choosing a career as a campaigner – you do this full time; you’ve said so. Who is funding you?

DC - The people. No corporate donors, no shady backers, no establishment ties, just ordinary Brits who want their country back.

Everything I do is funded by supporters, the people who subscribe, donate, and back Operation Albion because they believe in the fight. That’s the difference between this movement and the political class - they serve their donors, I serve the people who actually fund me.

And that means no strings attached, no compromises, no selling out. Just one mission, one fight, one goal: Britain’s reckoning.

KJMT - There is the possibility of governments – and our current one in particular – restricting or even shutting down the internet altogether. What do campaigners like you do then?

DC - Then we adapt and overcome. If a government is so terrified of losing control that it shuts down the internet, that’s not the end of the fight, that’s the start of something bigger.

Offline networks - the message spreads with or without social media. Encrypted communication, Telegram, peer-to-peer messaging, real-world meetups, and alternative platforms. If X goes dark, there are always new frontiers.

They can shut down websites, suppress accounts, even kill the internet for a while but they can’t kill an idea. If anything, their fear proves we’re winning.

This fight was never just digital. Movements survive, regimes don’t.

KJMT - We have become ever more reliant on the internet and digital this, that or the other almost to the point of excluding anything else. Is this a good thing or a bad thing and if governments can shut it down, why are they so keen on it?

DC - It’s a double-edged sword. The internet has given people more access to information, more ability to fight back, and more ways to expose corruption. That’s why governments hate it.

They want control over what you see, what you say, and what you think. They use digital dependence to track, censor, and manipulate the public. They push a cashless society, digital IDs, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) because if everything is online, they control everything.

So is the internet a tool for freedom? Yes. But it’s also a tool for tyranny. And if we don’t fight for control over it, it will be used to control us.

Governments love digital dependence because a population that can be switched off with a click is a population that can’t resist.

That’s why real-world movements matter.

KJMT - You have a family; you’ve mentioned a son and a daughter. What do they think about what you are doing and do you think (as has happened with others) that their safety could be compromised? What are you doing to protect them and what do you say to anybody that might conceivably present some kind of threat? This is something that anybody in the public eye has to contend with.

DC - My family backs me 100%. They know what I stand for, they know why I fight, and they know we’re not the type to back down.

Have I had threats? Of course. Death threats, vile abuse, even sick comments about my dead mum. But here’s the reality - millions of Brits deal with this kind of intimidation daily. Whether it’s political, cultural, or just for speaking out, people are bullied into silence.

I refuse to be one of them.

As for security, I have none. Like the vast majority of working Brits, I don’t get police protection or panic buttons. I do what every other person does; I get on with it. If the people running this country actually did their jobs, nobody in Britain would have to worry about speaking their mind.

To the people making threats? Save your breath. You won’t stop me. You won’t scare me. You won’t win.

KJMT - You are from east London, Dagenham - a solid working-class area, known for Ford and West Ham United. What were the influences on you as you grew up, what’s motivated you to be where you are now?

DC - I grew up working class in South London but have lived in East London for over 20 years. Married here, raised a family here, and like any proper East Ender, I’m a West Ham man through and through.

Dagenham? Salt of the earth people. Hard-working, no nonsense, straight talking. They don’t fall for political games, they know when they’re being lied to. That’s what shaped me; a refusal to accept nonsense, a love for this country, and a belief that ordinary people deserve better.

My motivation? Watching the people I grew up with, the people I live among, be ignored, mocked, and betrayed. Seeing working class Britain sold out while politicians pat themselves on the back.

I fight because nobody else will. And I’ll keep fighting until the people running this country have no choice but to listen.

KJMT - What would your Mum say about all this, Operation Albion and the fight you are leading?

DC - She would say that the country she grew up in is slipping away and that we must fight not only to preserve the legacy of those that came before but to build a future for those that come afterwards.

David Crabb, thank you.
