Matthew Elliott

Matthew Elliott, co-founder and CEO of the Vote Leave campaign, has been described by the Financial Times as ‘one of the most formidable political strategists in Westminster’ and by the New Statesman as ‘one of the most successful – and feared – campaigners in British politics’. He also led the successful NOtoAV referendum campaign and has set up numerous policy campaigns, including the TaxPayers’ Alliance in 2003. Matthew is currently the co-founder and president of the Jobs Foundation and a member of the House of Lords, where he sits as Lord Elliott of Mickle Fell. His most recent book is Prosperity Through Growth (Biteback, October 2025), co-authored with Dr Arthur B. Laffer, Michael Hintze and Douglas McWilliams.
