RISHI Sunak reportedly masterminded Lisa Cameron’s defection from the SNP to the Tories, according to Alister Jack.
We told how the East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow MP, who has held the seat since 2015, claimed she had been ostracised from the SNP Westminster group over her support for the harassment victim of MP Patrick Grady.It has also been reported that a small group of senior Tories orchestrated the defection – and Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross had been kept out of the loop.
“The Prime Minister is entirely responsible for Ms Cameron’s decision to come over to the Conservatives,” Jack told the Telegraph.However, it came on the day Cameron was widely expected to lose a selection contest in her local SNP branch to competitor Grant Costello. Sunak reportedly heard of Cameron’s issues with the SNP group from some of the six Scottish Tory MPs in the, with the pair said to have “reached out to each other”, leading to at least one meeting between them both.“It’s incredible, it never leaked and nobody saw this coming until it happened. The responsibility is entirely the Prime Minister’s.”
