Ashcroft: If Kemi Goes I Go

Andrew Pierce observed in the Mail that Brexit bad boys Nigel Farage, Andy Wigmore, and Arron Banks were present at the launch of Lord Ashcroft’s unauthorised biography of Starmer, Red Flag, last week. Guido also spotted Sarah Pochin and Richard Tice in attendance…

Pierce dangles the prospect of a donor defection:

“Ashcroft reveals that it was the leadership of the Iron Lady that persuaded him to become a major Tory donor. Before she took over, he added: ‘I had drifted away from the party in the 1970s because, although a natural Tory, I had felt the party was out of touch with the elec- torate and its core supporters. Doesn’t that sound familiar?’ It does indeed.“

Ashcroft, who donated £320,000 to the Tory party last year, responded to that one this afternoon:

“I will give up on the ⁦Conservatives if they self-flagellate once again and replace ⁦Kemi Badenoch.”

Conclusive enough there…
