Letter: Tories must unite behind Ken Clarke
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: We believe that any attempts by a prospective Tory party leader to stamp their personal views, to the exclusion of others, on the future composition of the Shadow Cabinet is out of tune with Conservative instincts for tolerance and mutual respect.
Kenneth Clarke and John Redwood have combined to offer the Tory party something we all thought it had lost: unity based on inclusiveness. This is Tony Blair's worst nightmare. We strongly urge all Conservative MPs to vote to make this unity a reality and to reroute their party on the path back to power.
