Tory MP Natalie Elphicke has defected to Labour, hitting out at the 'broken promises of Rishi Sunak's tired and chaotic government'. The announcement came as Rishi Sunak faces off with Sir Keir Starmer in the first Prime Minister's Questions since the local elections.
By Gurpreet Narwan, political correspondentThe government is turning the screw on Labour on the issue of Israel and Gaza.The Labour leadership would rather not talk about it.It is a tense issue that Labour is having to tread carefully and the party's stance is losing it support on its left flank.The prime minister challenged Sir Keir Starmer on comments made by Sadiq Khan, the newly elected London mayor, who said there must be equally strong criticism of the actions of Hamas and Israel.
Stephen Flynn of the SNP has become a vocal opponent of the government's support for Israel at PMQs.With Israel's military operation under way in Rafah, Israel's allies in the West are being pushed to their limits.The US has already delayed an arms shipment and the government is coming under pressure to do the same.Mr Flynn challenged the UK's continued sales of arms to Israel.The PM downplayed the scale of those sales, saying the government's stance on exports was unchanged.
