Conservative candidate on 'tough night'published at 06:13 British Summer Time 5 July
Conservative candidate for Windsor, Jack Rankin, said it has been “a tough night” for the party, adding “it’s our fault”.
“The Conservative Party has lost the trust of millions of people nationally and we’ve got no one to blame other than ourselves,” he said.
“It’s fair to say we have lost this election rather than Labour has won it.”
He said the party has “drifted from its core values” and suffered as a result of “errors” including the D-Day incident.
