Centre for a Better Britain
British think tank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Centre for a Better Britain (CFABB), formerly known as Resolute 1850, is a British political think tank founded in 2025.[1][2] Its earlier name was a reference to HMS Resolute, from which timber was used to make the US President's Resolute Desk.[1][2]
According to the Financial Times, the organisation is planning "Trump-style" changes to British government.[3] The Times has described the scale of its ambitions as having "echoes of Project 2025", the political initiative behind the second Trump presidency.[1]
The CFABB was founded by Jonathan Brown, the former chief operating officer of Reform UK.[4] According to DeSmog, it is backed by the British investors Mark Thompson and David Lilley.[5]
It is associated with the British academic James Orr, a leading figure in the British national conservative movement, who chairs its advisory board.[6][7][8] The YouTuber Archie Manners has been hired to provide communications and social media advice.[2]
The CFABB is based in Millbank Tower, a building that houses the headquarters of multiple political organisations, including Reform UK.[1]
According to The Times, the CFABB has also incorporated operations in the United States and Canada.[1] Its founder Jonathon Brown has stated that the CFABB is seeking to raise £25m to further its objectives.[9]
