I've never heard of Dr Daniel Poulter but an interesting development!

Conservative MP and ex-minister Daniel Poulter defects to Labour - BBC News

This is where the exodus begins...

He's my MP... Met him a few times!

I don’t think this happening when an election is about to happen in which the Conservatives are expected to lose many seats is a coincidence.

All the boundaries in our area are changing. He wouldnt have been our MP after the election.

the party I was elected into valued public services
What party was that then? The only interest the Tories ever have in public services is in running them into the ground and then privatising them.

Exactly. Really? When was that then? He was happy enough to be a Conservative while they slashed and burned public services in the name of austerity, and now he's about to lose his seat he has a damascene conversion!

That is interesting. I may go and have a look at his voting record.
