- James O’Brien and LBC’s Political Editor, Natasha Clark, analyse this week's PMQs as Rishi Sunak faced Sir Keir Starmer.
To the surprise of many in the Commons, Starmer announced that MP Natalie Elphicke had defected from the Conservatives to Labour.
'Why on earth are Labour accepting this Tory?'
'He was rattled throughout'
'It's not something you can prepare for'
'She's not destined to become a sparkly jewel'
'It gives Starmer yet another stick to batter him with'
'Starmer's launched a two-pronged attack on the Tory Party'
'This defection statement is seething'
'A third defection to come?'
'They've run out of road'
'Shall we have a little bet?'
'Sunak is slinging out the same old insults'
'The mud isn't sticking anymore'

Elphicke is the same Dover MP who supported fire and rehire on P&O staff, and the same who left negative comments about Marcus Rashford just because he wanted to feed hungry children.
She'd better not stand for labour.
Apparently she’s not going to stand and Labour already has a candidate in place for that seat.
This defection feels to me like it’s a very political move designed to embarrass the Tories and underline that their time is up.
That’s the perfect candidate for labour - in line with their values
Of coarse she's standing for New Torries (I mean Labour). As George Galloway so eloquently put it, they are "two cheeks of the same backside ".
If a guy who was in Combat 18 join Hope not Hate why can't she be redeemed?
@@garethpreen5929 wouldn't bother giving him the time of day!
That was Sunak's worst PMQs. He looked knackered, he was whiny, he lacked convinction. He kept harping on about Labour being anti-semitic and was very obviously and gracelessly dodging questions.
And finally, finally Starmer said 'he's getting ahead of himself. He's asking so many questions because he thinks I'm the Prime Minister already.' I've been waiting for him to say that for months.
Bringing up Blair again because the Corbyn attacks weren't working. He's so desperate.
I really can't remember a single PMQs where Sunak hasn't done terribly (and I tune in every week), but this week really is the most atrocious, pathetic, weak display he's put on to date. What an absolute coward - call a general election.
@dw Stalmer being anti-Semitic is totally unacceptable of course!
@@chatham43 yep, the way the labour party has treated Palestinians, including their own members, is pretty disgraceful
@@chatham43 is it wrong that at this point people calling labour anti-semetic has lost all meaning to me?
Labour should have nothing to do with Elphicke, she has appalling views, she is acting out of cynical self interest!
...she has already made alternative [lans...is standing down at the next GE...it's a token gesture, is all....
@@tomcharles8786 I'm sure reform would have loved to have her
In fairness Labour are taking her out of self interest too. It's another stick they can beat Sunak and the Tories with to show how even their own MPs have lost faith in them
@kityhawk2000 only in the short term. Doubt they'll stand down the person they picked to have Starmers choice forced on them. Starmer never had a principle he wasn't willing to sellout
Which mirror that of her husband who was dropped by the Tories and she then took his seat. I don't trust her in the slightest

Completely agree she should not be given the Labour Whip. She clearly cannot be trusted and is simply trying to ensure she doesn't become unemployed.
An interview with Elphicke regarding food banks was precisely the reason I took my food bank just an assignment from my photography degree to a full blown photography project. Voted against free school meals for kids but urged people to support their local food bank! Awful!
What are people having kids for, if they can't feed them? Having kids and then making it everyone else's responsibility. I very much doubt you have asked anyone, that question. Maybe, l should take care of the assignment, and give it some kudos.

We are all suffering under long Conservative
All by design, get everyone in poverty and arguing while the rich get richer.
O'Brien forgets that he along with the establishment side of Labour helped Johnson by smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an antisemite despite there being zero evidence to support that accusation. They'd rather the incompetentce of the Tories than Corbyn's commitment to actual working class people as well as human Rights for EVERYONE, even brown people.
O'Brien is duplicitous +w@+ but some of us remember.

She does not deserve to stand as a Labour candidate
She’s not
She leaving at the next election
she's not, it has been confirmed she will stand down at the election
The BBC reports that she will stand down, so she's not a Labour candidate
Tories falling to bits like the country.
Leftist purity tests like this from people like you are why the Corbyn left and such never win anything.
Natalie Elphicke defecting to Labour. What wormhole have I travelled through, to what parallel universe. Bonkers!
It suggests to me even more now that Conservative and labour are different, only in name.
If she does stand, it will be a disgrace to the Labour party. She is awful in almost every way.
Genuinely thought Sunak was going to start crying during that.
Could it be that it's finally dawning on Itchy Bawsack that his party are a shambolic disaster!

@@chatham43 You don't need to repeat yourself
“Believes it’s a waste of his time” - of course he does. Sunak is arrogant and doesn’t believe he should be questioned at all
She won’t be a Labour candidate. This is the right political move by Labour right before PMQs and after the LEs. They’ll bin her when the GE is called.
They’d better - terrible woman
Prime ministers questions is the perfect name for it, as it is all questions and not a single answered question...

When is Sunak going to throw the towel in 😩
when he's done siphoning taxpayer money into his and his family's pockets
When he's finished the swim in his pool?
The party's over Rishi, grab your coat.
Would you believe that in my post today was a news letter from Natalie Elphicke extolling all the wonderful things that the Tories have acheived for the towns of Dover and Deal and two hours later she has defected to Labour. You couldnt make it up could you!! The country has gone down the toilet - just pull the chain!!
BRING BACK SANGITA
It's infuriating when politicians ditch their party just to save their own skin. They should have the backbone to stick to their principles, even if it means facing the consequences head-on.
I am so disappointed Sir Keir did not ask 'WHERE IS SANGITA?'.
Where's Sangita? LBC has been captured by Israel lobby. LBC = Lost Basic Credibility! Time to make a stand James!
@Emma He's already married!
@emma Because he's not a creepy obsessive stalker like 👍 you!
Rishi Rich Sunak the WEAK Tory noodle
For those who doubt the existence of zombies, I present exhibit A: The Tory Party.
Sunak was incredibly vexxed throughout pmqs today
Discombobulated, even
Nearly had a conniption.
He's always vexed. You'd think someone as rich as him would be happier.
Even Sunak doesn't belief the guff hes spouting .
You can see it in his face and hear it in his voice .
He's only staying there to lengthen his CV for his next job
Bring back Sangita Mysak. No to Vanessa Feltz.
She's moved on so should you
Get rid of James O Coward, Ferrari and Fogarty. All IDF apologists.
What's wrong with Feltz?
@DeltaV-sayno2CCP just go away and listen to something else then, who are you to make demands on all our behalf?
@@DeltaV-sayno2CCP As someone who absolutely supports Israel, it's where I most disagree with James because I dislike Palestine support.
I don't know what you've been watching but he isn't pro IDF. I'm pro IDF and he doesn't support a similar stance to me at all.
Elphicke is hardly an advantage to Elphicke, she is seen as one of the thickest MPs from any party.
@Gerry. and you know all about being thick. Labour relys on it!
ELPHICKE will stand down at the Election
I hope so but I haven't managed to find it being reported (yet)

Of course she is, they doubled the severance package so she's going to milk the taxpayers for as much as she can before she's gone.
Won’t be surprised she defects to Reform the moment the GE is done.
Bring back Sangita the only journalist with true integrity 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Bring Sangita back.
Starmers best PMQs arguably. Totally skewered Sunak, who, as usual, had no answers to anything.
Why so little so late
She made the calculation to go for the best way of holding to her job
Vote her out if she stands
Carpet bagger.
bring back Sangita
Natalie who ? Where's Sangita ?
Relax. She’s moved just to humiliate Sunak. The scheduled Labour candidate will fight the seat.

Sangita 💚
@Mrs Little💄!
Says a lot about Keir Starmers Labour party when far-right Tories can find a home there. But something something Corbyn something something antisemite
It does - it says they are now massively electable
As long as the broad church supports a move left (and can get elected), to my mind it’s a means to an end
Something, something, Corbyn lost twice, something, something, worst election performances for decades. Move on.
So true @@markbailey1970
@@markbailey1970 No it says there almost as right wing as the Tories and she is about as extreme as can be.
JUSTICE FOR SANGITA
Sangita ?? Never thought James would be a client Journalist, so disappointed
Bully obrien always was
Very disappointed that Kier Starmer accepted Elphick into the Labour Party.
@patrick It's so unfortunate...but I'll still vote for the party calling itself Labour!☺☺
I won't be listening to this. Where is Sangita?
Of course it's a waste of time Sunak prepping for PMQs, he never answers anything and just uses the same phrases question after question so why should he bother? Now if he approached PMQs in the spirit it was supposed to conducted in, he would have to prepare some actual real answers...
Bunch of gangsters
Sunak doesn't want to do PMQs. How dare people ask him questions.
'Coup' is pronounced as 'coo' - but I put it down to the defection and all its ramifications
It is so revealing for Labour to accept a similar MP, Labour is no longer Labour! And where is Sangita?!
Wake up!! She'll only be there as long as Sunak is, and if her gesture precipitates his demise, she's cutting her own throat.
What's Starmer got to lose?
"Labour will retain their existing candidate in Dover and Deal at the next general election and Ms Elphicke will stand down", is the line on the BBC News website updated 30 minutes ago - they've accepted her for the impact & optics, but thankfully she's not going to stand in Dover
@hesham Hiding from you!😊
Accepting any floor crossing is fairly straight forward.
A rule of Politics, make your opponent look weak in any way you possibly can.
Remember, they havent joined the party and have to do so to stand as an MP.
At this rate, labour will be full of conservatives and we'll be stuck in the same old mess.
Would they take Jonathon Gullis if he jumped? Of course not, I doubt the tories really want him.
No one really wants him, do they?
They just promoted him didnt they?
As a labour member i say no way to Elphicke
Please k Starmer don’t accept her its not right !
Learn to deal with realpolitik. It's how adults operate in politics.
You’re still a member have u learnt nothing.
All I know about this woman makes her completely unfit to be a labour person.
What happened to Sangita?
Hiding under a rock
Poor old Sunak. Utterly out of his depth.
As a Yank, who loves to observe UK politics, because Prime Minister's Questions can be more entertaining than anything on Netflix here are my thoughts. In a first-past-the-post system, the only way you can win is to have as big a coalition as possible. You use the term broad church we use big tent. To my understanding, she is standing down after the ending of this parliament. Having her sit as a Labour MP, even if it's only for a few months, tells lifelong Tory voters that it's okay to vote Labour in this election. And when are dealing with people who have no morals like the Tories, or people who are a direct threat to a democratic system like Donald Trump, sometimes you have to make uncomfortable alliances with people that you would rather avoid in ordinary situations. But unfortunately, those are not the times we're living in.
Don't let Elphicke in. Send her to Reform!!!!
What on earth Labour are doing accepting this woman is beyond me.
A total opportunist and lacking in any moral fibre.
Get rid before she wrecks the fragile labour party in both Dover and the country
Where's Sangria?
Spain?
Why is Lindsey Hoyle still the Commons Speaker? Do you think he will remain as speaker after the election?
Can’t labour say to Elphicke “go do one”. Awful person.
Sunak not calling a General Election now is pure and utter arrogance.
A move like this would have been like an actor going from ITV's Coronation Street to BBC's Eastenders. Nowadays, it's more like Corrie to Emmerdale
She's said she won't stand again.
Blame Gordon Brown is all he had left....GE
Ha ha, yes and whatever he did the tories had 15 years to fix it.
The MP is not standing at the next election that was on daily politics at lunch time.
Tories game is up 😂😂😂😂
I heard she was stepping down.
Embracing a Tory into the Labour party is another reason I will not be voting Labour, after a lifetime of voting Labour. I have the rare luxury of voting with my conscience, as I live in a true blue constituency, much to my chagrin.
Conservatives going to Labour says a lot about Labour.
Shows how desperate Starmer is having her in the party.
Now, what about Sangita????
So are we now expected to re-elect the Tories who have destroyed the country just because they are wearing red rosettes?
She's not standing at the next election.
No, but it would be sensible to look objectively at what has happened.
Her motive was to damage Sunak in the most effective way. Her defection has had far more impact than that of Anderson's and, for me, getting rid of the Tories is the only way we can slow down the rot. If you have a better alternative, name it.
She's standing down at the next election, it's been reported since 👍
He was shaking throughout shitnak 😂
Elphicke isn’t standing for the General Election - Mike Tapp is the candidate for Labour for the new Dover/Deal seat
This just shows how close the labour and tory parties are 👍
May I be so brave to ask what has happened to Sangita..😢
Sunak was deflated today. Utterly hammered by Starmer.
Interesting chair and dress combo ! 😊
Camouflage!!!
How could neither of you have known she had already confirmed she was not standing in the next GE?
Where's Sangita ?
Sunak was exposed when he refused to talk about Sangita being cancelled.
Natasha is blending in with the chair
We shouldnt be having hard line tories in the labour party.the doctor that defected fair enough as he was supporting the nhs.but this person.why.
She doesn’t acknowledge the member of the public asking the question. Typical behaviour
