I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.

I think this would be very much a manufactured Scottish identity. The name is not mine; it’s my husband’s.

Reform has people who left the Conservative party, some of the most dishonest people I have ever met in my entire life.

I want us to unite the country. It is not about uniting the right, it is about uniting our country.

I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is.

‘What I want is a Conservative government, not a monstrous Reform-Conservative hybrid, which will actually put as many people off as it gains.’

But I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is. I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.

How do I work with people like that when I am making carefully curated plans and taking a systems-based approach?

If we get a hung parliament and people see that the parties can’t form a government, you have another election.

‘They’re all over the place’

These are people who left us when we were at our lowest, many of them the people who caused the problems in the first place and then ran away and pretended they had nothing to do with it. Why should we have them back?

Israel has a political issue with the elections coming up, and this is what happens in systems with proportional representation.

It’s absolutely essential. If this decision had been made earlier in the summer, we could have had gas from Jackdaw in people’s homes by this winter, by Christmas.

You have small extremist parties dictating policy, the tail effectively wagging the dog, and that’s why I’m very much against creating a proportional representation system in our country.

Britain needs a serious plan to deal with climate change. Seriousness means looking at results, not simply setting targets and congratulating ourselves afterwards.

I’m not giving him a national platform, he is standing to be a councillor in Somerset … it is a local platform looking at parking, sorting out bins … I have much higher thresholds for what it takes to be a Conservative MP.

Nigel Farage has called this by-election not to help you but to help himself.

Climate change is real. The net zero plans are not. They are a political fiction.

Reform are a woke party – and I know a lot of people don’t understand, the word woke is used to mean many things.

I don’t see how I could possibly have people like that in some form of coalition.

If we are going to stop extremism and antisemitism we are going to need help from those people who were part of the problem, but have now changed and are being part of the solution.

When the proper process has run its course and there is a genuine contest, we will be there.

I will put forward a serious candidate who understands that representing Clacton is a job, someone who turns up, listens, holds meetings and works for the people who live here.

While I am sad that Joshua feels he won't be given the space to explain his position and represent his community, I am glad he is going to work with me and the party on tackling radicalisation.
