natalie elphicke has been the mp for dover in kent since 2019. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins me from the houses of parliament — henry, was this a surprise? it was a shock. if you had asked me before this afternoon to list 100 conservative mps most likely to defect to the labour party, natalie elphicke would have been nowhere near that list. and i think that was reflected in the faces of conservative mps at prime minister's questions, as keir starmer announced at the start of his question that he wanted to welcome her to the labour side. mps had not noticed her there, and they were expressing to bewilderment to each other. natalie elphicke's announcement will hurt rishi sunak, because she goes for him on an issue that is central to his attempt to recover his political position. she accuses him of failing on small boats. remember, that is one of his five priorities, and she is the mp for dover and deal in kent, where some of these crossings happen. so that will sting. the conservative party pointing out in response, hang on

natalie elphicke, the mp for dover, says rishi sunak has failed on his pledge to stop the boats, but she had previously accused labour of having no plan to deal with illegal immigration. canterbury mp rosie duffield said labour mps were "baffled" by her "really peculiar" move to swap sides. but a senior party figure hailed her switch as "one hell of a coup". 0ur chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, told me that labour leader keir starmer and his allies are jubilant that natalie elphicke hasjoined labour. and that's for the simple reason that they can now say to rishi sunak and to the voters that rishi sunak has promised to, in his words, stop the boats, stop the small boats crossing the channel. and the mp for dover, which is where so many of those boats arrive, has now publicly declared that she backs keir starmer to achieve that goal over rishi sunak. make no mistake, that is a proper blow in public relations terms for the conservative party, for rishi sunak. however, as you say, there is significant unease, mostly private, but a little bit in public from labour mps about
