The boy
from Baghdad

My journey—from rebuilding a life in Britain to leading in business and government—has shaped my deep belief in hard work, opportunity, and an inclusive society.

I fled tyranny with nothing but hope. Britain gave me opportunity, and hard work turned it into success. That journey is not just mine—it’s a testament to what’s possible when nations back ambition, reward effort, and create opportunities for all.

Whether in Britain or across the world, I will always champion enterprise, education, and the power of determination to change lives.

The Boy from Baghdad:
Nadhim's Journey

"Very few people in Parliament can match Nadhim’s childhood experience, his understanding of international affairs,
his skills as a businessman and his passion for politics."
