Announcing her defection, Natalie Elphicke hit out at the ‘broken promises of Rishi Sunak’s tired and chaotic government’
The Labour party has defended its decision to welcome former Tory rightwinger Natalie Elphicke into the party. At a post-PMQs briefing, a spokesperson for Keir Starmer said that they were confident that Elphicke shared their values and that there were no skeletons in her cupboard.
Asked if all Labour MPs were happy to have her as a new colleague, the spokesperson said: It’s a sign of the progress that we’ve made that people recognise that on some of the key challenges facing the country, the Tories have failed. And here is someone who is willing to make the significant step of switching across to Keir Starmer’s changed Labour party, and that’s something we’re very happy to see.
