Keir Starmer welcomes ex Tory MP Natalie Elphicke to Labour

The Labour leader claimed Elphicke has a “strong track record” on issues such as housing and on the “frontline” when it comes to the so-called small boats crisis.

The defection has angered Elphicke’s former party, with Downing Street pointing out her recent attacks on Labour immigration policies. “It’s absolutely vital that we build the homes the country needs because under Rishi Sunak we’ve seen housebuilding simply collapse in this last year. Going forward, it looks like it’ll be another missed manifesto promise from the Conservatives – not 300,000 homes, but probably half of that number.
