Conservative MP Suspended for Backing Reform UK Candidate

Outgoing MP Lucy Allan Backs Alan Adams

Paragraph 1

Lucy Allan, the outgoing MP for Telford, has been suspended by the Conservative Party for backing a Reform UK candidate. Allan, who has been the MP for Telford since 2015, had previously announced that she would not stand in the national election.

Paragraph 2

The Conservative Party said in a statement that Allan had been suspended for "backing a Reform UK candidate who does not share the Conservative Party's values." The statement also said that the party "has a long-standing policy of not supporting candidates from other parties."

Paragraph 3

Allan has not yet commented on her suspension. However, she had previously said that she was supporting Reform UK candidate Alan Adams because she believed he was the best candidate for Telford.

Paragraph 4

The suspension of Allan is the latest in a series of disciplinary actions taken by the Conservative Party against MPs who have expressed support for Reform UK. In recent months, several other MPs have been suspended or expelled from the party for backing Reform UK candidates.
