The great and good of the pro-EU movement made an extraordinary intervention to Roland Rudd to complain about the "warring factions" in People's Vote

Here it is in full:

Here are Alastair Campbell and People's Vote deputy chair Hugo Dixon rowing bitterly over the role of Tom Baldwin

“Enjoy your games Hugo”

"I think you have a lot more experience in political games"

The People's Vote civil war centres on a fundamental strategic disagreement over whether it should overtly campaign to remain in the EU

Rudd and the grassroots: yes

Campbell, Baldwin, Mandelson: no

Rudd tweeted 10 days ago explicitly backing remain

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

A big pro-EU march in London this coming Saturday has caused huge rows behind the scenes

Rudd and the grassroots are backing it

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

An internal email sent by People's Vote aides this morning warned that BuzzFeed News was about to publish a story based on leaked emails.

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

Alastair Campbell blasts the leaker for playing "political games"

"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"
