1974

Daniel Rayne Kruger (born 23 October 1974) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Devizes in Wiltshire since 2019.

The son of writer and property developer Rayne Kruger and restaurateur and television presenter Prue Leith, Kruger was educated at Eton College, subsequently studying history at the University of Edinburgh and University of Oxford.

After university, he worked at the Centre for Policy Studies think tank, and then became a policy adviser for the Conservative Party.

Kruger worked as a policy adviser in the Conservative Party's Policy Unit from 2003 to 2005.

During this time, he was credited with contributing to then Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith's speech at the 2003 Conservative Party Conference.

2005

In 2005, Kruger became the chief leader writer of The Daily Telegraph.

Kruger was selected as the Conservative candidate for Sedgefield at the 2005 general election, challenging prime minister Tony Blair in the seat.

He was forced to drop out of the contest, however, after The Guardian quoted him stating that the party had planned "to introduce a period of creative destruction in the public services".

2006

Kruger became David Cameron's chief speechwriter in 2006.

He left this role two years later to work full-time at a youth crime prevention charity that he had co-founded called Only Connect.

Kruger left his position at The Daily Telegraph to become the chief speechwriter to then Conservative Party leader David Cameron in 2006.

He wrote Cameron's 2006 address to the think-tank Centre for Social Justice, which was later dubbed the "hug-a-hoodie" speech, and was noted as a call to re-brand the party with compassionate conservatism at its core.

Kruger co-founded the London-based youth crime prevention charity Only Connect in 2006 and in 2008 left his position as Cameron's chief speechwriter to work full-time for the charity.

2015

In 2015, the charity was acquired by Catch22 but continued to operate independently with its own brand.

He also founded the charity West London Zone, which aims to provide support to at-risk youth.

2016

Kruger supported Brexit in the 2016 UK EU membership referendum.

For his charitable work, Kruger received an MBE in 2017.

Kruger was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to charity in the 2017 Queen's Birthday Honours.

In the same year, he voiced his support for the legalisation of cannabis.

2018

He was a senior fellow at the pro-Brexit think-tank Legatum Institute, which he left in 2018 to become an adviser at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Kruger was elected as MP for Devizes at the 2019 general election with 63.1% of the vote and a majority of 23,993.

After the election, he was replaced as political secretary to the PM by Benjamin Gascoigne, Baron Gascoigne.

In May 2020 he tweeted extensively in support of the apparent breach of lockdown by Dominic Cummings and Mary Wakefield, describing them as "old friends".

In August 2020 Kruger was photographed breaching the rules on the mandatory wearing of masks on public transport.

He apologised and stated that he "simply forgot", but also criticised the photographer for not asking him to put on a mask.

He has also referred to his dislike for "absurd masks" in an interview with local media.

He was appointed as a Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in September 2021.

In June 2022, Kruger supported Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the 2022 Conservative Party vote of confidence in his leadership, saying "I don't judge people's private morals, or rather I do but I oughtn't. I judge public conduct. And on that, I think we should be forgiving about minor slips".

In the same month, while speaking during a debate on the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court of the United States which resulted in the removal of pregnant women's constitutional right to abortion, he commented that he did not agree "that women have an absolute right to bodily autonomy" in relation to abortion as "in the case of abortion that right is qualified by the fact that another body is involved".
