Starmer welcomes Natalie Elphicke’s defection to Labour

Tory turncoat Natalie Elphicke and Sir Keir Starmer have faced outrage from Left and Right over their “shameless” political pact. The Right-winger abandoned her party to join Labour just seconds before Prime Minister’s Questions to land a brutal blow on Rishi Sunak.

But the defection of one of the Conservative Party’s most hardline MPs to the Opposition was met with deep scepticism from all sides. Senior Tory Bob Seely questioned which one had been the most shabby in agreeing to the deal.

He said: “This is an MP who has spent months attacking Keir Starmer and Labour over immigration, then decides she wants Labour’s open borders.

“This is a Labour leader who refuses to meet his own MP Rosie Duffield because she stands up for women’s rights, but finds time to meet a Tory turncoat. I don’t know which one of them is more shameless.”
