With two weeks left, the Conservatives still have an opportunity to make this case with passion and an increased sense of urgency. The Manchester attack exposed the nation’s vulnerabilities. Since then, however, the Prime Minister has led the security services with focus and determination, helming a vital and effective operation that yesterday allowed the terror threat level to be reduced; Britain needs this kind of serious leadership. Mr Corbyn simply does not offer it.

It is now more apparent than ever that the only real choice is between Labour and the Conservatives. So the narrowing of the polls is a useful wake-up call. Brexit, done properly, offers freedom and wealth.
