Is it right for MPs to switch from Tories to Labour? Feat. Albia & Nina | Jeremy Vine

- Natalie Elphicke the MP for Dover caused uproar among both parties yesterday when she crossed the floor of the House of Commons ahead of Prime Minister's Questions.
She says she decided to leave the Conservatives as she didn't think Rishi Sunak was sticking to the party's promises from the last election.
Labour leader Keir Starmer used this as an opportunity to attack the Prime Minister's government.
So that's two MPs switching sides recently - but before Christian Wakeford did it in 2022 - there hadn't been an example of someone switching parties for almost 30 years.
So why is it happening now?

Would this be the narrative if they were moving the other way? The press would be hammering Labour, not discussing whether they should be moving, we all know that.
Hypocrisy is something vine is full of. Woeful program
This is a woman who had a go at Marcus Rashford for wanting to give poor children free school meals.
Rishi sunak MUST resign now.
We want a general election now.

To quote George Galloway "They are two cheeks of the same arse" 😂🤣

Starmer has made a mistake by listening to Mandelson on Elphicke.
Of course, it's right it's fundamental to Parliamentary democracy where MPs represent their constituents, not the Party they are a member of.
It’s not about wether it’s right that a Tory switches to Labour. The question should be wether it’s acceptable for any MP to switch parties midterm? If they are disillusioned , they should resign and let a by election happen imho.
Totally agree that there should be a by election.
It doesnt really matter its a home goal for Labour but do you really think people would vote for her in a General Election????
Just wanting to play on the winning side
Elphicke will get employed by GBeebies and they will state she is a Labour MP.
No of course not. They're all just on a gravy train IMO
This is disgusting. I'm not surprised, but it's still disgusting. I am sick of all these opportunistic, self-serving grifters. Politicians truly are the dregs of society 😂😂😂
You'd think it would be more LEFT than right to cross the floor to the Labour benches but not sure with Ellethick.
Didn't watch 😮😊.
No.
Did he ask this question when 30p Lee switched to reform?
Can the people tell, yet, that it is really as easy at looking at their eyes.
They do it all the time ' but sm & mainstream seem to only notice this' when its an mp who changes to labour 😁
30 points lead in latest opinion poll for labour , Tory Mp s defecting , worst council losses in 60 years and third worst by eiection loss in 90 years …. Yes labour in a terrible place
true yea they are look at their inheretence a broken nation now fix that if you can terrible
I don't think she's switched anything more like placed nothing like eyes and ears in the other camp.
Why just Tory to Labour??
If an m.p leaves jer position in parliament there should be a local election the public voyed gor tories not labour!
Jeremy, your callers call in to say what they think, not for you to tell us what they want to say. Shut up now and then.
Terrible coverage this should come with a health warning for viewers I wish this lot would go back to tv where no one will have to see it in the feeds. 😎👍🏴
One life coarse is never set in stone, if a change of path is what she felt like then she should not ignore her fait line calling, should she, if you heart does wain upon a thought the thought of heart is true.
Too little too late. She is trying to save her political career. That’s about it.
It's a home goal for Labour!! Theres no way anyones going to vote for an X Tory... Starmers not stupid he nos it aswell...even her own constituence didnt want her.....wake up and smell the coffee....😂
The Uniparty.
When you find urself quoting MTG...
Starmer would both his granny's kidneys to get into power. Shame. Red tory liar.
*would sell
"I wonder if Starmer could get into trouble with this"
Pretty pathetic and predictable commentary trying to paint the worst picture possible for Elphicke and Starmer rather than the extraordinary defection and slamming of Sunak the actual PM.
This could have been scripted by no. 10.
