Dr Dan Poulter, a working medic, has quit Rishi Sunak's party saying it is 'failing' the health service and that he could no longer 'look my NHS colleagues in the eye' as a Conservative.
A Tory MP and former health minister has defected to Labour in protest against the Tories' "rightward drift" and neglect of the NHS, in a blow to the Prime Minister.
"The health service has ceased to be an area of priority for the Conservative Party, and that is now showing in the strain on the front line and the deterioration of care for patients," he said.

Labour leader Sir Keir said it was "fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter to today's changed Labour Party. It's time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page and get Britain's future back. I'm really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey." Dr Poulter's move is the second defection under Mr Sunak, after former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson ditched the party for Reform earlier this year. It is likely to spook already restive Tory MPs and fuel doubts over Mr Sunak's leadership.
