Conservative MP Lucy Allan has said she will back Reform at the election in a further blow to Rishi Sunak and his faltering campaign.

 

The MP for Telford, who announced last year that she was standing down, said that she would support her local Reform candidate in the coming contest.

 

Richard Tice, the Reform leader, said he welcomed Allan’s support, as the Conservative MP tweeted a link to the party’s local candidate, Alan Adams, to allow people to help up and donate to his campaign.

 

The Conservatives have been approached for comment but MPs who support another party normally have the whip or their membership suspended.
