Lincolnshire Tory MP invites Nigel Farage to join Conservatives

Speaking about Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who was elected as an MP in the Clacton constituency, Sir Edward said: “We’ve got to, I think, invite Reform voters and Farage to join us.

“Because otherwise in five years’ time, we are going to have a similar debacle.

“We can’t have a divided right wing vote.

He added: “I would absolutely welcome him in.

“If he wants to stand for leader, that would be a matter for our members.”

Sir Edward, 73, will become the Father of the House as the longest serving MP in the Commons.

He was first elected to his Lincolnshire seat in 1983.
