An ally of Roland Rudd hits back at briefings from the James McGrory / Tom Baldwin camp

They claim that Alastair Campbell had a meeting with Rudd last week in which Campbell urged Rudd not to sack Baldwin (his close friend for decades), but said he could get rid of McGrory 😬
Roland Rudd ally says he didn't address staff this morning because he found out Baldwin/McGrory had arranged for 20-30 people to walk out and film it on their phones

Source says Rudd knew he was being stitched up so avoided the meeting
Roland Rudd ally says journalists are being misled by "their mates" in Baldwin/McGrory faction

They say the vast majority of PV staff are on Open Britain contracts and do not support Baldwin/McGrory
And the Roland Rudd ally says this is about Rudd wanting to change the way PV is run... away from the famously aggressive and centralised leadership style of Baldwin, towards a more democratic campaign with more women and grassroots involvement
