Almost 24 hours after Natalie Elphicke's ultra-surprise conversion to the Labour cause, it is starting to look as though this might cause more bother for Keir Starmer than for Rishi Sunak.
Elphicke's move is widely seen at Westminster as unprincipled, and it is assumed that her support for her new party is not sincere.
The defection is also a bonus for other progressive parties competing with Labour.
Anneliese Dodds had the awkward job of defending the decision to admit Elphicke and struggled to explain why Elphicke is in the PLP but not Diane Abbott.
