Mark Edwin Wallace (born 20 August 1984) is a British journalist, newspaper columnist and political activist. He is Executive Editor of the website ConservativeHome, and is a former Campaign Director of the TaxPayers' Alliance.

Early Life

Wallace grew up in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside[1], and was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne[2]. He studied Archaeology at St Chad's College, Durham University.[3]After graduating, he worked on archaeological excavations at Bamburgh Castle.[4]

Political Campaigner

In 2005, Wallace was appointed Campaign Manager of The Freedom Association (TFA), a libertarian and Eurosceptic pressure group. In the autumn of the same year he was stopped and filmed by Sussex Police under counter-terrorism powers while protesting against the proposed introduction of Identity Cards outside the Labour Party conference.[5]

Wallace co-founded Better Off Out, a cross-party campaign calling for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, in April 2006.[6] He continues to sit on the Association's Council and Management Committee.[7]

In 2007, he became Campaign Director of low-tax pressure group the TaxPayers' Alliance[8]. His campaigns at the TaxPayers' Alliance included pressing for transparency on MPs' expenses[9], and for MPs to be punished for any fraudulent abuse of the system.[10] The same year he featured in the Channel 4 political documentary, Make Me a Tory.

In July 2010, Wallace was recruited by Portland Communications, a PR and public affairs agency,[11]before becoming Head of Media Relations at the Institute of Directors in March 2012.[12]

Journalism

In April 2013, the centre-right political website ConservativeHome announced that Wallace would join its editorial team the following month as Executive Editor,[13]following the departure of its founder, Tim Montgomerie.

Wallace has stated that his particular interest is in "the way political machines are evolving in the age of low party memberships and digital innovation"[14], and has published investigations into the success of the Conservative Party's campaign in the 2015 general election[15], and the failure of the Party's subsequent campaign in the 2017 general election[16][17][18].

Beyond ConservativeHome, Wallace is a regular commentator in the media. He writes a fortnightly column on Brexit for the i paper[19], and has also written on politics for The Guardian[20], The Observer, the Financial Times[21], The Times[22][23] and the Daily Telegraph[24]. In October 2017, he was placed at Number 89 in 'The Top 100 Most Influential People on the Right' by political commentator Iain Dale.[25]

Quiz Contestant

Described by blogger Guido Fawkes as "a secret quiz buff"[26], Wallace has appeared as a contestant on several television quizzes. In 2004, he represented Durham University on University Challenge[3]. In 2013, he won The Chase.[27] In 2016, he captained The Beekeepers on Only Connect[28], reaching the Quarter-Finals[29].
