'Massive blow’ for Rishi Sunak as Conservative MP Dan Poulter defects to Labour
"No one saw this coming.”
As Conservative MP Dr Dan Poulter announces he is defecting to Labour, The Spectator’s James Heale says Labour can “congratulate themselves” for “pulling off quite an audacious coup”.

I'm a doctor and ive worked in the NHS for ten years. it is simply not credible for a current doctor and conservative MP to only have realised, due to a few ED nightshifts as a psychiatry registrar locus, the state of the health of the service, and nation, directly due to him, his leadership, his party. he voted again and again for NHS austerity, and has been directly affiliated with the austerity party for >2 decades. this is too little, too late. shame on him.

Don’t kid yourself. Both just spend only slightly different amounts on the same bleeding things. Both parties are Neoliberalist. Tories currently give tax breaks to the rich & NI cuts to most but allow obscene utility & petrol price rises from not cutting that tax & they do make claiming benefits harder. Allowing Illegal immigration is deliberate but claim to be against it. Labour will make claiming benefits easier but will hike taxes & NI for everyone and will even increase carbon taxes still further on utility bills & other taxes after likely capping energy prices which will mean continuing to borrowing money to give to the energy companies. They will also allow Illegal immigration deliberately but claim to be against it. When the 40p and 45p tax bracket earners who hate the Tories get clobbered by Labour from all these tax hikes as it’s an obvious cost to attribute to the government in their payslips & bills then you will hear 4-5 years of relentless moaning unleashed. You’ll then see utter hypocrisy. Both parties are the same. The system is rigged. Does anyone seriously think Multi national corporations, hedge funds, big business will put their massive investments at risk by allowing the public to vote in another party? Ha. Ask yourself if you were a narcissistic super rich entity only interested in greed would you not rig the system to maintain the status quo. Of course you would. It’s been going on for years but people have been fooled into thinking there’s an alternative choice. Destroy both parties. Never, no matter what they tell you, never vote for either of them. Ever.

People are absolutely mental if the vote for labour or conservative. David Kurten Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May. In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ. The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage. We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country.

Poulter is standing down at the next election so it makes no difference to labour.
😂😂😂😂 fancy leaving the Conservative Party to join labour. What a waste of time.
Defecting to Labour to cling on to his job. Dan Poulter clearly has the moral fortitude of a soggy biscuit.
Tories lose another MP, hardly surprising news lately, the shock will be when we go a week without one jumping ship. 😂

Titanic, Iceberg, Rats, Deckchairs, all go so well with MP's... What a lot !
It’s hilarious how many angry Tory voters are saying he’s only done this to keep his seat… despite the fact he’s already declared he’s stepping down at the next GE. Then again, facts and logic rarely figure for the current Tory base🤦🏻♂️
Shouldn’t be allowed to defect. He knows the tories are going to lose so jumps across to the other side just to keep his job. Just shows the level so called mps will stoop to. All on the basis of a few night shifts in A&E. it’s been in a state for years no just the last 6 months.

Poulter is also a hospital doctor. I doubt that Sunak's speech at the Centre for Social Justice a few days ago scored any points with Poulter. By the way, CSJ is one of those think thanks that refuses to reveal who its funders are.
An NHS doctor that became a Tory MP. Baffling!
One spot moves from one arsecheek to the other. So what. It’s still a spot. Both cheeks need to be kicked at the GE.
The tory party is on life support.

We need to get this snake Sunak out. Starmer is no better.
He only done that because he thinks has more chance of keeping seat with labour 🐍
Serves him right
Rishi is loaded, why doesn’t he have made to measure suits?
How is it a blow? The guy who has jumped ship is a complete no-mark

Reform are just a collection of the craziest Tories
More concerned that Labour took someone like that!
So never a true conservative then? Just changing his tie colour within the uniparty. Get the lot of them out and SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!
No mp should be allowed to go to join another party only go as a independent member till next election
Successful week? Don't make me laugh! You set a very low bar! 🤣
If Sunak is so rich, how come he can't seem to afford a suit that actually fits? If he's had that tailor made, he should be able to take it back for a refund
when will people realise all mps are the same pigs at the same trough. we need a new party

The Tories are lucky we aren't French !
Why didnt he find out what the NHS are doing with the millions that the government has given them so far
IM SICK OF SEEING HIS FACE ON MY UTUBE!! ELECTION WE NEED NOW !
I always think that when an MP jumps ship to the opposition party just before an election he is not only disloyal but feathering his own nest moving to the party he thinks will win. He has had plenty of time to move well before the elections but I guess he wanted to see how Labour would fare in the polls before he jumped. Serve him right if Reform wins!
Tories have drifted so far left this is now possible.
Defects to labour! Really? He neednt have bothered
Can we have an election before he sends all the nhs money to Ukraine
Well, if Tory MP’s aren’t conservative, what do you expect?
That’s ya lot Mr Sunak, this says it all, could possibly be the most perfectly timed defection ever. Tata mate …
Is Dan P going to assist Wes Streeting in Privatising the NHS
What’s the big deal about a conservative MP moving to Conservative Party 2.0 What kind of news is this 😂😂😂
