From the Daily Telegraph:



[The move was also poorly received by
some Labour MPs, with one telling
The Telegraph it was a “f------ joke” and
had “gone down like a cup of hot sick”,
while another Labour backbencher said
accepting Right-wing Tory defectors
was “not sustainable”.

John McDonnell, a former shadow
chancellor, told LBC Radio the defection
“would have strained the generosity
of spirit of John the Baptist”.

Meanwhile, the defection was condemned
by Momentum, a campaign group
on the Labour left,
which claimed it showed Sir Keir had
moved the party too far to the right.

A spokesman for the group
said: “Natalie Elphicke has consistently
demonised refugees and aid groups.
She voted against Labour proposals
to outlaw fire and rehire, while supporting a
wide array of destructive and damaging
Tory legislation.

“She should have no place in a Labour
Party committed to progressive values
and working-class people.”
