Elphicke crossed the floor of the House of Commons to join Labour, criticizing Sunak's 'tired and chaotic government' and praising Labour's position in British politics.
She highlighted the government's failure in border security, especially in addressing small boat arrivals from France, criticizing Sunak's approach, including the controversial plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda.
Starmer welcomed Elphicke and another new Labour lawmaker, while calling for Sunak to call a general election following the government's recent failures and Conservative defections.
