I share the frustrations of voters tempted by Reform - it’s why I made the difficult decision to resign. But I ask those voters to do the same and place their heads before their hearts. Dividing the Right only delivers a Labour landslide: the opposite of what our country needs.

With threats only growing, we must significantly increase defence spending. But money can’t be magicked up so we must divert spending from elsewhere. Until we’re confident in our ability to defend ourselves, we should direct half the aid budget to defence.

We must be honest with ourselves: we have a serious problem with Islamist extremism. How do we cure this sickness and build a united country? It starts by consigning the disastrous experiment of mass migration to history.

Voters rightly want the Government to stop illegal – and reduce legal – migration, to reform the NHS and to take the firmest line against crime. But above all they want a strong economy that leaves more money in their pockets.
