After the wildfires — lessons on being prepared | SaltWire #wildfire #novascotia #thinkingoutoudLONDON - A lawmaker in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party defected to the opposition Labour Party on Wednesday, the second to do so in less than two weeks, criticising what she called the broken promises of a"tired and chaotic government".
Elphicke is the third Conservative lawmaker to defect to Labour since the last election in 2019. Christian Wakeford switched in 2022 over former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's conduct around rule-breaking parties during COVID-19 lockdowns. Elphicke, a former finance lawyer, won the south coast seat of Dover at the last election after her husband who represented the area was forced to stand down after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting two women.
