Tory MP Natalie Elphicke defected to Labour on Wednesday, prompting criticism from both parties.
Lord Cameron has accused Labour of standing for nothing after Sir Keir Starmer accepted a right-leaning Tory MP into the party. The foreign secretary said Sir Keir welcoming Dover MP Natalie Elphicke into Labour on Wednesday showed the party does not have a plan. 'In life, if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything,' he said following a speech about defence on Thursday.
Conservative MPs have expressed their confusion over why she defected after heavily criticising Labour on many occasions. Lord Cameron was giving a speech on the UK's national security at the National Cyber Security Centre when he made the comments. He called on Britain and its allies to 'out-compete, out-cooperate and out-innovate' their adversaries in an ongoing 'battle of wills'.
