Paul Scully, who made his resignation from Parliament known on Monday, stated that the Conservatives’ “core vote” is in danger of dwindling on News’ Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge.

“The core vote will eventually dwindle or disappear.
“So you begin in the center. I won’t sit there at the deep end of the pool and invite folks to join me if I’m trying to entice them to come in.
“You swim in the shallow end, in the middle ground or something like that and say ‘let me explain why you should come with me’.”
