Tory MP Lucy Allan has been suspended with immediate effect after endorsing the Reform UK candidate standing in the seat she is vacating.

Lucy Allan is standing down in Telford and publicly gave her support to Reform’s Alan Adams rather than Conservative Hannah Campbell.

Lucy said on X, "I am supporting Alan Adams to be Telford’s next MP."

A Conservative Party spokesman said: “Lucy Allan has been suspended from the party with immediate effect.

“The people of Telford now have the chance to vote for a dedicated and hardworking new candidate who will put Telford first. A vote for Reform is a vote for Keir Starmer.”
