Lord Cameron criticizes Sir Keir Starmer for welcoming right-wing hardliner into Labour
Lord David Cameron has criticized Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for welcoming Tory defector Natalie Elphicke into the party, calling it "naked opportunism." Elphicke, a right-wing hardliner, is facing fresh allegations of lobbying on behalf of her ex-husband, a sex offender.
Labour backs Dover MP despite corruption claims
Despite the corruption claims against her, Labour has backed Dover MP Natalie Elphicke. She has been accused of pushing ministers to interfere in her ex-husband's sex offences trial in 2020, raising questions about her actions and motives.
Response from Lord Chancellor and Shadow Paymaster General
Reports suggest that Elphicke lobbied for her ex-husband's trial to be moved to a lower-profile court. However, Labour's Shadow Paymaster General Jonathan Ashworth dismissed these claims, stating that it was not Elphicke's interpretation of the meeting. Questions remain about the Lord Chancellor's response to the alleged lobbying efforts.
