ED Balls has been panned for defending Keir Starmer’s decision to welcome Tory defector Natalie Elphicke into the Labour Party.

The problem with Ed Balls commentary is he thinks that Natalie Elphicke has said she was wrong and that she has changed her views on certain topics.Although Labour’s newest MP ended the marriage, she supported his unsuccessful appeal, saying Elphicke had been “attractive, and attracted to women” and that he was an “east target for dirty politics and false allegations”.

It was then put to Balls by associate editor of the Daily Mirror Kevin Maguire that Elphicke also took a “cheap shot” at England footballer Marcus Rashford. A number of people took to social media to criticise Balls with one Twitter/X user claiming he had"no principles at all".
