“Enjoy your games Hugo”
"I think you have a lot more experience in political games"

Campbell, Baldwin, Mandelson: no

When the tweet was posted in a PV whatsapp group it was “drowned out” by the Mandelson-Campbell-Baldwin faction who “spammed” the group with photos of PV rallies in order to bury Rudd's intervention

Rudd and the grassroots are backing it
But PV staff are “very aggressively” trying to undermine the event because it is *too pro-EU*

In a sign of the disharmony in the group, that email was also leaked to BuzzFeed News.

"It's a pity that, for whatever reason, someone who says they are committed to fighting Brexit has chosen to leak selectively some of our exchanges"
