Sunak facing Starmer at PMQs as Tory MP defects to Labour - BBC News
Ex-Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke says "under Rishi Sunak, the Conservatives have become a byword for incompetence and division".
For some Labour MPs, this is not a straightforward win

Sir Keir Starmer is jubilant at Natalie Elphicke’s shock defection. It enables him to make a direct argument to "big C" Conservatives that if an MP as "small c" conservative as Elphicke is moving to Labour, so they should too. That’s exactly what is worrying some Labour MPs in private. The two previous defections direct from the Conservatives — Christian Wakeford and Dan Poulter — were widely welcomed: Wakeford was disillusioned with Boris Johnson; Labour MPs liked that Poulter defected specifically on the issue of the NHS. Elphicke’s cause of immigration and asylum policy sits less easily with many Labour MPs — though it is worth noting that she also cited housing, where her views are much more in tune with the Labour mainstream. Labour MPs are also asking questions about the circumstances in which Elphicke first got her seat in 2019. She replaced her then-husband, Charlie Elphicke, after he was charged with sexual assault. He was later convicted and imprisoned, at which point she announced that their marriage was ending.
