Wes Streeting has told The Independent that he has personally spoken to Tory MPs who are considering defecting to Labour because of the “division and incompetence” in Rishi Sunak’s government.
But the shadow health secretary insisted that Labour will not take just any Tory MP.
Referencing Mr Sunak’s predecessor’s short term in office, he noted: “If Liz Truss were to want to cross the floor, and I don’t imagine she would, I would rather take the lettuce.”
dont let the rats fleeing the sinking tory ship infest other parties.
let them drown in the shit they made
People keep saying this. None of the MPs that have crossed the aisle so far are standing in the next election. So they’re not really joining the labour party they’re just making a public statement.
