The Conservative MP Lucy Allan has said she will back Reform UK at the general 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 UK leader, said he welcomed Allan’s support, as the Conservative MP tweeted a link to the website of Alan Adams,the party’s local candidate, to allow people to help and donate to his campaign.
The Conservative party has been approached for comment, but members who support another party are likely to have the whip or their membership suspended.
