Another MP has left the Tories. 

Former Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke has crossed the floor, joining up with the Labour Party. 

She quit just moments before Prime Minister’s Questions, hitting out at Rishi Sunak’s “tired and chaotic government”. 

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that most of the anger at her move is coming from the from the Labour Party. 

He said that one front bencher said that there are many people on the Conservative benches they’d welcome over before Elphicke.
