“This is why four million people voted for Reform. They felt the Conservative Party had let them down. And it's important to remember, no political party has a right to people's votes; they're not there to be moved across the chessboard, but each election we must win them anew.
“And the Conservative Party took its base for granted. We assumed that voters would not want, would be frightened, would fear a Labour government and would carry on voting for a Conservative government that they were uninspired by, probably even fed up with.”

Some 40 Tory seats were won by a margin of under five percent, with majorities of under 2,500 people.
Speaking to GB News, Sir Jacob said: “We failed to show ourselves to be on the side of the people who had historically voted for us. We did not appear to be Conservative and they duly blew us a large raspberry.
“Now some people keep on saying that the conservatives will only win from the centre, but this is not true. In fact, it's balderdash. It is a political myth.”
