Sunak Launched Election Campaign With Corbyn Campaigner
Guido was looking through old photos from when the Tories weren’t warning about a Labour supermajority this afternoon. At Sunak’s May 22nd election campaign launch event in the ExCel centre in London a vaguely familiar face was standing next to Kemi Badenoch and Akshata Murty behind the PM. He gave her a hug at the end, though Guido recognised the woman from different campaign work altogether…
Hagir Ahmed is a former Corbyn campaigner, who’s been photographed at Momentum events and “Jeremy for Labour” phone bank sessions. She seems to have have a change of heart and was seen out campaigning with Tory MP Greg Hands since turning up to Sunak’s launch event. Was she converted by his bold action and clear plan?
Ahmed’s Twitter is full of pro-Tory content. Was Sunak embracing an agent of the party’s most loyal intelligence service?
