This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Conservative Party says MP Lucy Allan has been suspended for backing a Reform UK candidate.Ms Allan insists that she quit the party in order to support Reform UK candidate Alan Adams in the seat she is vacating.She publicly gave her support to Mr Adams rather than Tory Hannah Campbell in Telford, Shropshire.

A Conservative Party spokesman said she had been suspended “with immediate effect” while the prime minister said a vote for Reform would “put Keir Starmer in power”.

"Asked about Ms Allan’s revolt, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said “when it comes to Reform, I understand people’s frustrations”.But he added a vote for other parties “particularly Reform, all that is going to do is put Keir Starmer in power”.

Ms Allan added about Mr Adams that he was “not in it for personal advantage, power, or control over people” and his motivation for standing “is profoundly honourable”.

“The Tory spokesman said, following Ms Allan’s suspension, “the people of Telford now have the chance to vote for a dedicated and hard-working new candidate who will put Telford first”.Veterans minister Johnny Mercer said it was “very sad” to see Ms Allan supporting the Reform candidate.“I like Lucy but any broad political organisation like the Conservatives trying to get through the incredibly turbulent time of the last 7 or 8 years…are gonna have the edges where people don’t agree and that is fine,” he added.A Reform spokesman said the party was “absolutely delighted” Ms Allan was backing their candidate.
