RISHI URGED: TIME TO TALK UP BREXIT

'We have to remember what won us a huge majority in 2019...we are party of Brexit'

- David Maddox

RISHI Sunak has been urged to what remember won the Tories an 80-seat victory and "to start talking up Britain and Brexit" again.

A series of his MPs warned that the Prime Minister must move on from "the gloom and doom" agenda of Remainers and his Labour opponents.

Brendan Clarke-Smith, one of the Tories to break down Labour's Red Wall, said: "We have got to remember what won us an majority in 2019.

"We are the party of Brexit and opportunity. We are positive about this country's achievements enormous and its potential especially with Brexit. We have to start talking up Brexit and Britain again and not just accept the gloom and doom narrative of the Lefty Remainers."

A survey by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 41 per cent of voters think Labour's Brexit policy is to rejoin the EU, although Sir Keir Starmer has said repeatedly he would not.

With two polls showing the Tories heading for an election disaster with potentially fewer than 100 seats, many of the party's MPs say failure to properly deliver the benefits of Brexit is a root cause.

In a Techne UK tracker poll for the Daily Express, only a third of 2016 Leave voters (34 per cent) would back the Tories while 44 per cent who backed the party in 2019 have abandoned them.

Former Brexit minister David Jones was blunt in his assessment of the Government's failure to make a positive case for Brexit.

Writing for the Express today, the deputy chairman of the European Research Group of Tory MPS warns that Europhiles are "blaming Brexit for all the ills of the world and urging us to return to the orbit of Brussels.
