It is not the intent of LeaveHQ to intervene in the internal politics of the Leave campaign and we have largely steered away from making any significant interventions. However it has now become clear to us now that Vote Leave is a fundamentally broken organisation, badly tainted by the smell of corruption and bullying, along with an ambiguous position on leaving.





It is clear that they have failed to achieve any grassroots traction and their appeal is largely limited to Tories. It is mainly a vehicle for the "London Bubble", and thus has a limited shelf life. It cannot go the distance.





It is our belief that the conduct of Dominic Cummings is abysmal and reflects badly on all of us. The propensity of the BBC to refer to Vote Leave as the primary Leave campaign means our whole movement is tainted by association.



The BBC has a clear pro-EU bias and is an active participant in the campaign, and will use Vote Leave as a weapon against us. The internet never forgets. For this reason, it is our recommendation that Vote Leave should be folded immediately, and MPs, if they must join a group, should follow Kate Hoey's lead.





Under no circumstances should Vote Leave be the lead campaign organisation. They are certain to deliver a defeat if they do.
