Parliamentary candidate Sir Geoffrey Cox has claimed that Britain is "sleepwalking into a one party, socialist state" ahead of the General Election.

Speaking to GB News, Cox said: "If you believe the polls now three weeks out, the country is sleepwalking into a one party socialist state. And that would be profoundly unhealthy for British democracy, certainly for conservative right wing values.

"We would be facing a government with untrammelled power. And it's a wake up call. It doesn't mean it's going to happen. It needn't happen. We've got three weeks to go, and we have to fight with every fibre of our beings to prevent it."
