  • Mike Graham is joined by Talk presenter Peter Cardwell to discuss Natalie Elphicke’s defection to the Labour Party from the Tories.
    Labour MPs have criticised Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to welcome Tory defector Natalie Elphicke, the second MP to cross the floor in two weeks.
    Ms Elphicke quit the Conservatives just moments before Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, hitting out at Rishi Sunak’s “tired and chaotic government” and accusing the Prime Minister of failing to deliver on his promise to “stop the boats”.

    We shouldn't worry. We live in an era where principles don't matter. Many Labour supporting candidates switched to Conservatives as it was a winning team. They are jumping ship as the Conservatives can no longer make them winners. Now they are sure Starmer will win, so they just go with the flow. Labour principles died with Harold Wilson and Tory principles died with Thatcher. What we have now are long blades of grass that sway with the direction of the wind. SPINELESS WONDERS!!

      Small boat problem has exploded after we left the EU, Starmer wants closer cooperation with the EU
      Borders have 2 sides something the thiko brex1teers don't seem to realise
      And labour aren't for letting them in there for for processing them in a timely manner and shutting down the smuggling

      @@SlowhandGreg Somebody has been on Google, she was in my opinion as someone who grew up in the 80s a great leader and wanted people to stop relying on the state - make your own success and wealth, work for it. I and many of my generation have made a good life by getting on with it, working hard and earning a good living. That’s her legacy to me. The U.K. was respected under her leadership, she destroyed the power of the unions who strangled us in the 70s, stood up to the Warsaw Pact and realised we had to improve relations with our most powerful ally, geopolitically she was a great and well respected leader which reflected on us. No leader is perfect in a democracy, it’s the trade off if you don’t want the poison of socialism to destroy your country. I thought she was great.
