Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick is calling for tougher action on immigration, acknowledging the Conservative Party's challenges in the polls. Jenrick emphasizes the need to prevent voters from shifting to the Reform Party to secure victory in the upcoming election. He suggests welcoming Nigel Farage back into the Tory party and urges a shift in the party's approach to address the local election results and potential defeat in the general election.
