Phil Moorehouse's argument is that the LCP is thinking 2 moves ahead here. It's not about this #Tory defector. It's about leaving the door open for at least one much more valuable defector to come.
The committee that made the decision has stronger stomachs than some, certainly. But my question is how come Reform UK Ltd either wasn't approached, or turned her away? This has to be a kick in the teeth for them.
