The Monty Python-esque scrapping in the ‘Leave’ camps may calm down a little after the Vote Leave campaign this evening announced a number of changes that will satisfy some of its rather agitated MP members.
As well as appointing Lord Lawson as the chairman of the board, Vote Leave is changing the members of that board, with Matthew Elliott, Dominic Cummings and Victoria Woodcock stepping down. They remain in their roles as the CEO, campaign director and company secretary respectively, and will continue to attend and contribute to board meetings, but their departures represent the ‘material changes’ that Conservatives for Britain chair Steve Baker called for at the weekend.
What this means now is that the campaign has a better chance of reaching out to other campaign groups, and other MPs who are not yet signed up.
