“Politics will lead you down many paths, but a conservative and a patriot will never be far from the Bow Group. Against the tide of globalism, liberalism, and Marxism the Bow Group stands resolute.

The Bow Group is where conservatism begins and ends in Britain, there is nowhere else like it.”

Ben Harris-Quinney, Bow Group Chairman

“It is my honour to accept the role of Senior Patron of the Bow Group, one of the very few conservative institutions that has been there throughout my life, and is ever renewing its commitment to conservatism…rather than demuring from it.”

Sir Roger Scruton, Bow Group Honorary Patron

“It’s so important to have a really strong intellectual base from which to develop policy, and the research material that began the Brexit movement and the Maastricht rebellion was a pamphlet published by the Bow Group. The Bow Group has always been at the heart of British and conservative patriotism.”

Sir Bill Cash MP, Bow Group Senior Patron

“All organisations that are not avowedly right-wing will eventually become left-wing.”

Dr John O’Sullivan, Bow Group Senior Patron

Boris Needs a Gold Standard Conservative in No 10 to Win Back the Brexiteer Base If He Wants to Survive

Jan 27, 2022 | Broadcast Media, News | 0 comments

Bow Group chairman Ben Harris-Quinney said that the reason the public is losing confidence in Boris Johnson is not substantially due to the Partygate scandal, but because the prime minister is failing to fulfil the mandate he ran on in 2019, which is to deliver a patriotic, conservative, Brexiteer government.

Speaking to GB News, Mr Harris-Quinney said: “That’s a bigger part of the problem. Not to deny the significance of Partygate, but I think what’s happening is that he’s losing his base, and that’s far more serious.”

The Bow Group chairman continued: “Yes, there’s been a global pandemic, but that doesn’t answer the question of why is the government pushing ahead with these crazy Net-Zero policies that are going to bankrupt the country?

“Why are we having more immigrants coming into the country now than we were before Brexit? Why isn’t the government doing anything about illegal immigration? Mass immigration is a problem in itself – 750,000 people came into the country legally in 2020 – and you’ve got illegal immigration on top of that.

“And why is a Conservative prime minister hiking taxes to the highest point since World War Two?”

“I don’t think you can say it’s because they’ve been focused on the pandemic, because they’ve been doing a lot of un-conservative things. It’s not that they have been doing nothing, it’s they’ve been moving backwards on the conservative agenda.”

“What needs to happen now if Boris Johnson is to stay is he needs a gold-standard conservative inside Number 10, like a Lord Frost or John Redwood running things who’s not going to take any nonsense and that the base – the Brexiteer base that delivered the largest majority since Margaret Thatcher – is going to trust to deliver on the terms they were elected to,” Harris-Quinney said.
