Two MPs elected as Tories in 2019 - Christian Wakeford and Dan Poulter - have already crossed the floor in this parliament.- already reeling from the Tories’ disastrous performance in the local elections - if any more were to follow suit before voters go to the polls again.
Whitehall sources say discussions are at an advanced stage with two more Conservative backbenchers, although no final decisions have been made. “It’s a big deal to move from one party to another and nothing is certain until it actually happens,” said an insider.Wakeford, the MP for Bury South, dramatically defected to Labour in January, 2022, over the partygate scandal.
He said: “I have reached the conclusion that the best interests of my constituents are served by the programme put forward by Keir Starmer and his party.”The Central Suffolk and North Ipswich MP, who is also a doctor, said: “I have to be able to look my NHS colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye and my constituents in the eye.“And I know that the Conservative government has been failing on the thing I care about most, which is the NHS and its patients.
