Red Wall MPs: Join Reform, and help us save Britain

Everyone has a tipping point. For many Conservatives, theirs came when Suella Braverman was sacked. Any hope that Rishi Sunak believed in true conservative values, principles and policies was dashed. Sunak and his cabinet turned their backs on thousands of loyal Conservatives who no longer recognise their own party, and on the tens of thousands of Red Wall voters who delivered their 2019 victory.

I have only sympathy for those who feel betrayed. Like us, they once thought an 80 seat majority would see a proper Conservative government that would speak for them and stand up for Britain. 

I also wonder how those Red Wall MPs are feeling right now. They already know their seats are gone. How long will they continue to take the blame for a failed prime minister who no one voted for? How long will they defend a government that has broken promise after promise and taken our country from one crisis to another? 

In 2019, not one of them could have predicted the catastrophic failures they’ve seen since. Record net migration. Record NHS waiting lists. The small boat crisis. Surging violent crime. The highest tax burden since the war. Net zero driving up energy prices, destroying industry. And the woke takeover of our institutions continuing unchallenged. 

And all of this was before last week. How those MPs must have watched in horror as pro-Palestine mobs took over our streets, spreading anti-Semitism, race hate and violence, glorifying Hamas and desecrating our war memorials. And all of this enabled by two-tier policing that allowed them to break the law in a way that would never be tolerated among other groups.

Suella Braverman was the one voice in Cabinet to speak out against these outrageous scenes and held the police to account. Her sacking proved that Rishi Sunak will never stand up for Britain. Our nation’s culture, heritage and values are being destroyed before our eyes.

So I would ask those Red Wall MPs, many with so much talent and so much still to give: is this the Conservative Party you believed in? Many Conservative Party members and voters have already said no. They reached their tipping point. What will it take for you to reach yours?  

My message to them is loud and clear. Join Reform UK. We are growing fast and surging in the polls – and particularly in your seats. 

We are now the only choice for true conservatives. We are the only party with common sense policies. We are the only party who will stand up for British culture, heritage, and values. We will protect and honour our way of life. And we do the right thing for our country. That’s why the Brexit Party stood aside in the 2019 general election, where many Red Wall Conservatives were elected to Parliament. 

It wasn’t easy. It took courage. But the right thing is never the easy thing. 

The Red Wall MPs went into politics to do the right thing. They haven’t changed. Their party has. Sunak’s Tories have failed all those who believed in them in 2019. They have squandered the opportunity of a generation. They have abandoned almost everything the Conservative Party believed in. 

The tipping point for Red Wall MPs has surely arrived. The right thing now is for them to honour those that voted for them. To hold true to their conservative values and principles. That means joining Reform UK – and helping to save Britain.
