Canterbury MP said Labour MPs were 'baffled' by Elphicke's 'peculiar' move to switch sides.
A senior party figure described Elphicke's defection as 'one hell of a coup', while Sir Keir expressed being 'delighted' with it.
Some Labour MPs felt upset, shocked, and let down by Elphicke's defection, despite the usual joy seen with party switches.
Elphicke criticized Tories for incompetence before joining Labour, but her past remarks and disagreements with Labour policies have caused discomfort among Labour MPs.
