Change UK may not exist as a party in its current form by the time of the next general election, interim leader Heidi Allen has just admitted.

Quizzed on BBC Radio 4 Today’s programme after weekend rumours that she might defect to the Liberal Democrats, Allen revealed “the format might be slightly different. I see a modern world of coalition.”

This is the strongest hint yet of a coalition with the Lib Dem party.

Allen refused to confirm if she would be leading Change UK into the next general election.

Up to now the Change UK chief had denied an alliance with the Lib Dems is on the cards after a week in which one colleague already defected and the new party polled at its lowest.

The South Cambridgeshire MP who resigned from the Conservative Party amid mass defections in February, had insisted: “It wouldn’t look good if I defected from one party and defected to another a few weeks later.”

However Allen, 44, admitted that electoral co-operation after the European Parliament elections this week may be the logical step forward: “I hope we’ll be able to work more effectively in the future,” she said.

The admission came days after David Macdonald, a Change UK candidate in Scotland, left the party for the Lib Dems.

Boris Johnson’s sister Rachel Johnson, Change UK’s European election candidate in the southwest, also warned this weekend that the party was a “sinking ship”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
