Richard Tice

DESPERATE Conservative rightwinger Jacob Rees-Mogg urged PM Rishi Sunak today to make Nigel Farage a Tory minister.

The former Commons leader and cartoon aristocrat turned GB News presenter said that unity with Reform as part of a general shift to the right was the only way to avert election disaster.

Mr Rees-Mogg said that Conservative candidacies should be offered to Mr Farage, Reform leader Richard Tice and deputy leader Ben Habib, last heard of saying migrants should be left to drown in the Channel.
