  • A former Tory MP and health minister has made a bold move by defecting to Labour.
    Dr. Dan Poulter, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, who also works as a part-time mental health doctor in the NHS, expressed his reasons in an exclusive interview with the Observer.
    He blasted the Conservatives, labeling them as a "nationalist party of the right" that has lost compassion and neglected the NHS.
    Poulter announced his resignation from the Tory party and revealed his intention to align with Labour until the next election. He won't seek re-election but plans to advise Labour on mental health policies while focusing on his NHS work.
    His decision stemmed from his experiences during night shifts in an overstretched A&E department, which convinced him that Labour is the only party truly dedicated to enhancing the NHS.
    Peter Cardwell speaks with chief political commentator at The Independent, John Rentoul and former Labour advisor John McTernan.

      A Tory is always a Tory until they have the guts to realise what a Disasterous Government they are part of and resign from it.

    He’s crossing because neither party means anything, they are both exactly the same with policies determined by their corporate WEF bosses, and it’s Labour’s turn to win so he wants to be associated with them. It’s an easy job for posh nobodies, it’s a wage.

    I think that Dan Poulter will be savvy enough to realise that if he were to stay with the Conservatives as they currently are any real sort of suggestions for to try and improve the NHS would be like whistling in the wind.
    I actually think he's shown quite a bit of courage to stand up for what he believes to be right and has made the move even if it's just for a few months.
    I just wish another half a dozen would follow Dan's lead and say farewell to Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party.
