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.”] |
