The Labour leader replies to a question from a reporter asking if there should be be an independent investigation into claims the new Labour MP Natalie Elphicke tried to lobby over her husband’s trial and whether she is “a good fit” for
the Labour Party.
Natalie Elphicke disputes and
denies the allegations, Starmer says.
“I have to say, if the Tories put
as much time and energy into running the country properly as they do into attacking Elphicke, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.”
He adds that Elphicke was “very clear” when she crossed the
floor, as to why she was doing it.
“And her reason was, because the Tory
Party, the Tory government, has become a byword for incompetence and only the
changed Labour Party under my leadership can take our country forward.”
We
need now to turn a page, he says.
