Labour chair 'pleased' Elphicke is 'putting her constituents first'

Anneliese Dodds, the chair of the Labour Party, tells Sky News that Natalie Elphicke's defection, shows some Tory MPs are "deciding they can't stick with the failing Conservative Party anymore".
"I think it's quite right that she's chosen Labour now, and she's putting her constituents first," she added.
Mrs Elphicke, who campaigned for Brexit, said the change in the Tory party since she entered parliament in 2019 "has been dramatic and cannot be ignored".

See, its the same party, different name. Remove the Tories and Labour.

[@Idk-ys7rt]

Elphicke should not be a Labour MP! She was/is on the right of the Tory Party. Crisis of confidence in Starmer for me.

[@loveulez]

Imagine ever having confidencein in that mi5 fraud

[@casusbellio]

Why is labour trying to be as tory as possible?

[@snowyowel7961]

More likely, shifty starmer has offered her a peerage labour smelling awfully iffy .

[@michaelkemp6857]

Correct!!

[@viktor_with_a_k828]

traitor detected

[@janpetersen7440]

A 'revolving door' politician is someone who creates problems. And best for a political party to get rid of.

[@FontaineDerby]

Former England cricketer Monty Panesar has quit George Galloway's party - just one week after being unveiled as a candidate.😂😂😂

GG is half genius and half mantel

[@clario2178]

Shameless

[@julianshepherd2038]

Look at her forehead. It is very stressed by obvious lies. She is being made a fool of.

[@TryDiy]

Elphicke's immgiration views would make Giorgia Meloni blush, would Starmer would let her in too?

[@1milliondogs]

I'm pretty sure we already knew that before the defectors.

[@VoiceSriLanka]

Same like in India 🇮🇳 Sri lanka 🇱🇰 and Pakistan 🇵🇰 politics. Ministers switch parties when they get a good deal 😂😂😂 George Galloway was spot on when he said *Both Parties are like two cheeks of the same backside*

[@michaelkemp6857]

Shes done the people of Dover no favours!!

[@Mike_5]

What has she done previously?

[@olearyma57]

Labout - Starmer, Lammy, Thornberry appalling outfit complimented perfectly by Elphicke.

[@kieranmarsh363]

When Labour is in charge they will Britain great again... LOL

[@agmor1]

Still pleased?

[@cdeford2]

Rats jumping ship.

[@James-lm6wt]

[@TanDog-Video-and-Sounds]

How many times have we heard recently a Conservative voter say I would never vote labour, will this change their minds?

[@julianshepherd2038]

I live in a working class Scottish Town. Not seen a Tory since.... forever. They come 4th.

[@notjustforhackers4252]

No. Conservative voters are no longer represented by either party.
