A stronger, fairer, brighter Britain.

Josh Wray – Grand Chancellor of Advanced UK

A Stronger, Fairer, Brighter Britain

My name is Josh Wray, and I am proud to serve as the Grand Chancellor of Advanced UK, a movement based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, alongside our leaders Alfie Stott and Cole Marshall.

Today, I want to take the opportunity to explain who we are, what we stand for, what we aim to achieve, and why I believe our movement has an important future ahead of it.

Advanced UK was founded on the belief that Britain deserves a stronger future. We believe that our communities, our young people, our public services and our national interests should all be taken seriously. We believe that the future of this country should not simply be left to others to decide.

We have three main priorities that form the foundation of our movement.

Firstly, we believe Britain needs stronger border security.

Advanced UK believes that the issue of unauthorised Channel crossings must be addressed through decisive, lawful and effective action. We believe that Britain’s borders must be properly protected, that immigration rules must be enforced fairly, and that the British government must take responsibility for maintaining control of its borders.

One of our leaders, Alfie Stott, has expressed his view that the British Navy should be deployed in the English Channel as part of a stronger approach to preventing unauthorised crossings. We believe this issue deserves serious attention, proper planning and a clear strategy.

Secondly, we believe young people deserve better opportunities.

As someone who is part of the younger generation, I understand that young people have ambitions, dreams and goals for their future.

We believe that young people should have access to better apprenticeships, stronger career opportunities, practical education and the support they need to succeed.

Not every young person wants to follow the same path. Some want to go to university, some want to enter the world of work, and others want to develop skills through apprenticeships. All of these paths deserve respect.

Advanced UK wants to see a Britain where young people are given the chance to build a successful future, where hard work is recognised, and where opportunities are available to those willing to pursue them.

Thirdly, we believe the NHS deserves our support.

The National Health Service is an essential part of British society. We believe that healthcare should remain accessible to those who need it and that NHS staff deserve the resources, support and funding necessary to carry out their vital work.

We want to see a future where patients can receive the care they need, where staff are supported, and where the NHS can continue serving communities across Britain.

But our ambitions do not end there.

We also believe in supporting our local communities, restoring the importance of British pubs, strengthening local businesses and ensuring that Chesterfield remains a place where people can be proud to live.

Our movement has faced challenges along the way. We have experienced opposition and difficult moments, including concerns raised by members of staff at a local school in Chesterfield. However, we have continued to develop our organisation, our website, our policies and our plans.

We understand that building a movement takes time. It takes dedication, responsibility, teamwork and a willingness to learn. We are still developing, and we recognise that there is much more work ahead of us.

As Grand Chancellor, I want to make it clear that my commitment to Advanced UK is to help develop our policies, communicate our ideas and contribute to the future direction of our movement.

I want to thank Alfie Stott, Cole Marshall, our supporters, our members and everyone who has taken the time to learn about Advanced UK.

The coming weeks and months will be an important period for our organisation. We have ambitions to expand our presence, develop new projects and continue building our platform.

We are proud to be based in Chesterfield, and we are proud to be working towards the future we believe Britain deserves.

This is not the end of our journey. It is the beginning of a new chapter.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my address.

I am Josh Wray, Grand Chancellor of Advanced UK.

A Stronger, Fairer, Brighter Britain.
