Guido hears Telegraph leader writer Sam Ashworth-Hayes is joining Reform as part of its beefed-up policy team. James Orr is going on a hiring spree…
Ashworth-Hayes’ blueprint for Reform is revealed in his Telegraph columns. From last October:

Reform’s challenge is to find a way to sell benefits reforms to its base as part of a package: shielding its voters as much as possible, but where necessary cutting spending and trusting the migration and culture narratives to carry the day. It’s a hard sell, but not an impossible one.”
It’ll soon be his job to sell it…
