Richard attended and spoke at the first Basildon and Billericay Conservatives Garden Party. After the party, he wrote:
"Huge thanks to James and his family for opening up their Garden for our inaugural Garden Party! It was especially lovely of Katie Lam - one of the bright stars of the future in the Conservatives - to come along and give us a rousing speech and Q&A too!"
"It’s very clear that with Kemi Badenoch as leader, the Conservative Party is rebuilding with a strong team and a fully worked through and costed plan for the future."
"It has been great to see some new members joining locally and all are really valued parts of our broader Conservative family."
"Kemi and I need more people to get involved to help us take on this disastrous Labour Government. Whether you want to just be a member to support us, or if you’d like to attend social events, or if you’re interested in campaigning - become a member via www.conservatives.com/join"
