Starmer welcomes Natalie Elphicke after Labour MP defects from ConservativesParliament Live
Transcript
00:00Can I also warmly welcome the new Labour MP for Dover to these benches.
00:07Mr Speaker, if one week a Tory MP who is also a doctor says the Prime Minister can't be
00:15trusted with the NHS and joins Labour, and the next week the Tory MP for Dover on the
00:22front line of the small boats crisis says the Prime Minister cannot be trusted with
00:27our borders and joins Labour, what is the point of this failed Government staggering
00:34on?
00:35Mr Speaker, can I actually join him in welcoming his newest MP for Blackpool? I must say he
00:43looks a lot happier than the Member who was sitting there last week. But let me also join
00:50with him in congratulating all new and paying tribute to all former councillors, PCCs and
00:58mayors across the country. I hope his new ones do him as proud as I am of all of mine.
