Cameron's ex right-hand man predicts voter SURGE for Ukip if May backslides on Brexit
DAVID Cameron’s former right hand man has warned new Prime Minister Theresa May she will haemorrhage votes to Ukip at the election if she attempts any backsliding over Brexit.
By NICK GUTTERIDGE. Express.
Andy Coulson, the ex PM’s spin doctor, warned Mrs May that any move to renege on key pledges including limiting free movement would be met with a flight of support away from the Tories.
And he said key marginal seats would desert her in a flash for Ukip even though the party has secured its main aim in getting Britain out of the European Union.
Mr Coulson, who was jailed for his part in the News of the World phone hacking scandal, made the comments during a mini-documentary about why his home country Essex voted to leave the EU.
