MP Natalie Elphicke has ditched the Tories to join the Labour Party, blasting Rishi Sunak's "broken promises" and "chaotic Government".In a bombshell statement, she said: “I have carefully considered this decision. The change has been dramatic and cannot be ignored.It was as recently as last year that she had slammed Labour for secretly wanting "open borders".
She praised Labour for changing "out of all recognition" under Sir Keir Starmer, who she thinks now "occupies the centre ground of British politics". Sir Keir then asked the PM: “If one week a Tory MP who is also a doctor says the Prime Minister can’t be trusted with the NHS and joins Labour, and the next week the Tory MP for Dover on the front line of the small boats crisis says the Prime Minister cannot be trusted with our borders, and joins Labour. What is the point of this failed Government staggering on?”
Her newfound love for Labour comes after often slamming Sir Keir on social media on key issues that resonated with her constituency.
