Lucy Allan Suspended by Conservatives After Quitting Party to Endorse Reform UK Candidate
May 27, 2024, 04:13 PM
Lucy Allan, the outgoing Conservative MP for Telford, has been suspended from the Conservative Party after endorsing Reform UK's candidate, Alan Adams, to succeed her in the upcoming general election. Allan had previously announced her intention to step down in June 2023 but had not changed parties before the dissolution of Parliament. The move has been described as a significant blow to the Conservative Party and its leader, Rishi Sunak. Conservative spokespersons have emphasized that a vote for Reform UK is effectively a vote for Labour leader Keir Starmer. Allan's endorsement of Adams over Conservative candidate Hannah Campbell has led to immediate suspension from the party. Allan has also announced that she has quit the party. Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer described Allan's decision as 'disappointing.'
