Jesse studied and worked at UCL 1997-2003 (MPhil and PhD in philosophy), and is currently a Senior Fellow at Policy Exchange.
Jesse has been a Conservative since university. He played a key role in helping Oliver Letwin to defeat a huge Lib Dem onslaught in West Dorset during the 2005 General Election, and stood as a Conservative candidate in Camden Town in the 2006 Council elections, when Labour lost control of the borough for the first time in 35 years. He was able to draw on this experience in becoming an adviser to George Osborne MP, the Shadow Chancellor, in 2005.
He regularly writes for the national newspapers, and has appeared on Start the Week and Any Questions?. His recent book Compassionate Conservatism has been called the “handbook to Cameronism” by the Sunday Times.
In December 2006 Jesse was selected as the PPC for South Herefordshire.
