OPINION: Jacob Rees-Mogg said it is time to unite the right

The Unionist Party has faced its lowest ranking in the polls in nearly a decade, at just 17 per cent.

Behind the Liberal Democrats, we are now in fourth place for the first time since the days of Theresa May, and those were something of an aberration anyway. This could not have happened at a worse time.


Yesterday, the Labour Government decided to make the UK a colony of the EU.

Yesterday’s surrender deal, along with today’s news that the Tories have fallen to fourth place, means one thing: it is now in the national interest for the two right-leaning parties to come together.

It is time for a Conservative-Reform electoral pact, so that we can save the nation from servitude.

The reset deal betrays fishing communities. It opens the door to free movement. It places the country in a regulatory straitjacket, through dynamic alignment, overseen by the EU court. It commits us to a future of low growth under the EU’s net zero policies.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The United Kingdom is at a crossroads. One path takes us into becoming a satellite of Europe, which means a future of high regulation, an ever-expanding state, more bureaucracy, and higher taxes.

This path disregards freedom of speech. It is in favour of mass migration. It shows no concern for borders. Sadly, this is the path Labour is taking us down, and it would lead to a bleak future for Britain.

However, there is hope. There is another path.

We could rip up the surrender deal and rebuild our fishing fleet. We could set our own food standards. We could free ourselves from the EU’s carbon budgeting system, which is making us cold and poor.

But there is much more than just that. The alternative path, an alternative vision for Britain, could include cutting taxes and unleashing the firepower of British business.

We could radically overhaul our welfare system, getting millions of people back into work.

We could scrap net zero altogether, reinvigorating our industrial communities by exploiting the shale gas under our feet, and giving confidence to energy companies to drill, drill, drill — making your bills cheaper.

GETTY

We could also close the border, crack down on Channel crossings, and bring net migration down to net zero — the only net zero we want.

But the way to do this is through cooperation between the Conservative and Reform parties, to defeat the left at the next election. We believe in broadly the same values. Our voters want this country to follow the same path.

If we want any hope for the future of this great nation, it is time to bring the parties together and save us from the dystopian future being offered by the socialists.
