SIR RICHARD THOMPSON MP

Sir Richard Thompson is a British politician and media proprietor who has served as Chancellor of the Exchequer since August 25, 2024. A member of the Conservative Party, he has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast since July 2023. He previously served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from September to December 2021 and Home Secretary from September 2023 to August 2024.

Richard Thompson was born in Braintree (Essex). He studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Lincoln College, Oxford. 

Thompson was appointed Special Advisor to the Prime Minister at the end of July 2021 under the leadership of PM John Bercow (Conservative). On August 13, 2021, Thompson joined the Labour Party as Member of the Parliament. He represented the constituency of Braintree in Essex County. On August 15, 2021, he was appointed to be Minister of State for Business by Prime Minister Donovan Moore (Labour). Thompson wrote the Business Guidelines, Rules &  Applications, and set up the applications to register businesses on British soil. In late August, he implemented the "Business of the Month" Awards. A month later, on September 4, 2021, Prime Minister Donovan Moore carried out a mini-reshuffle of his cabinet, making Richard Thompson the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. One of Richard Thompson's greatest achievements as Chancellor has been the Treaty of London and the Transatlantic Trade Treaty, which were proposed and written by him. Thompson was also responsible for the creation of a climate change campaign promoted by HM Treasury, the creation of a business fair and the Business of the Month awards. Both, the Business Fair and the Business of the Month awards, have continued to this day, reflecting the success of its creation. He made a lot of achievements as Chancellor of the Exchequer. In fact, Thompson created the strongest and most stable economy in the Bloxburg community. BUK was the country with the most active registered businesses when he was Chancellor. He was widely regarded as one of the most hardworking members of the Moore administration. However, he was dismissed due to an investigation conducted by the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee. The report was full of misinformation and lies. As consequence, he retired from politics for a while.

On 23 June 2023, Thompson returned to Parliament, this time as the Member of Parliament for Belfast. He became a notable conservative backbencer. Some months later, on 10 September 2023, Thompson returned to Cabinet and was appointed Home Secretary by Donovan Moore.

Early in his term, the Joint Forces were abolished as the recently reestablished Metropolitan Police Service took prominence. He later established the MI5 and MI6 and created the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol).

He has recently been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.
