We must unite over Brexit or let Corbyn into No10, warns Ruth

RUTH Davidson will warn today that her party should unite over a Brexit deal or ‘risk handing the keys of Downing Street to Jeremy Corbyn’.

The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, 39, who is pregnant with her first child, arrived at the party conference in hand in hand with her partner Jen Wilson, 36, yesterday.

Today she will warn that the party needs to ‘go back to our Conservative principles’ to agree on a Brexit deal. She will say: ‘It’s this practical, pragmatic and utterly Conservative approach that will get us through. Because, when the future of our country is at stake, it is essential.

‘Here’s the truth. We can agree a Brexit deal under the Conservatives or we can risk handing the keys of Downing Street to Jeremy Corbyn.

‘I know which one I believe is in the national interest. I stand by the Prime Minister.’ Miss Davidson has frequently been touted as a future Tory leadership candidate.

But she ruled out such a move last month and dismissed claims she could take a peerage or become an MP as ‘b******s’. She has been together with marketing assistant Miss Wilson since 2014.
