When we fire people because of their contacts, it is the first step on a very slippery road...
I'm a bit mystified by the fifth columnist rhetoric given her pro-Brexit beliefs.
Sounds like she was quite open about meeting a fellow Conservative even if they didn't agree on Brexit. Heck, she even gave Cummings her personal phone as well as her work one. This doesn't come across as how a strong democracy should function in 2019.
