Conservative MPs know my values and what I stand for. These are the values shared by the British people, and I have always been consistent in promoting them.
If I have the privilege of being elected our next Party Leader, I have a clear first 100-day plan for CCHQ and a package of reforms.
As a party and a country, we have faced too much turbulence. Right now, we have a duty to put the public first and put political differences aside.
This partnership is a world first and will change the way we collectively tackle illegal migration.
That means almost 45 per cent of our planned 20,000 officers are already in forces, and I hope we reach the halfway milestone within the coming months.
As the reaction to our Queen’s Speech plans suggests, the disconnect between SW1 and the people on this topic is particularly vast.
The government has delayed changes to the laws restricting charity lotteries, even though some legislation dates back to 1976.
Capitulation to Brussels by the Government is causing huge damage to our grassroots and damaging our local election prospects.
As the Prime Minister herself has said, we need to see meaningful, legally-binding changes to the Withdrawal Agreement, removing the backstop.
Over the last decade our activists, supporters and members have become a distant feature of an increasing centralised Party machine – remote, distant and out of touch.
Failing to take back control would be to ignore the largest democratic vote in British history. The consequences would be dire.
Taking back control will give us scope to restore public confidence in our migration controls, support key sectors of the economy, and woo wealth creators.
There is no other Party for people who believe in our country, welcome freedom, value meritocracy, and want to live in a society where hard work is rewarded.
We must value the expertise and hard work of grassroots Party members far more. They hold the key to our future.
Labour have also negotiated the Chagos deal in secret from the get go, and refused to provide answers to our questions. But we know, not from our own government, but from the Prime Minister of Mauritius that Labour kept giving them more concessions at every step.
