Lead campaigner in People’s Vote group quits as director

Exclusive: Roland Rudd, pro-EU group's former chair, resigns along with director Richard Reed

Roland Rudd, one of the leading campaigners in the fight to keep Britain tied closely to the EU, has stepped down as a director of the company behind the People's Vote group.

In a move one insider said marked as a sorry end" to the slow decline of the movement forged during the fierce battle over Brexit, Rudd and another director, Richard Reed, resigned and handed over the reins of PV Campaign Ltd to Mark Kieran.
