Labour chairwoman Annelise Dodds said there is no place for Nigel Farage in the party, following criticism from some MPs that right-wing former Tory MP Natalie Elphicke was allowed to defect.
Nigel Farage would not be accepted into Labour because his values are 'completely inimical' to the party, a shadow frontbencher said. Anneliese Dodds was asked about her party's 'red lines' following the shock defection of former Tory MP Natalie Elphicke to the Opposition on Wednesday. Some Labour figures have expressed concerns about the move, given that the Dover MP has repeatedly attacked Labour over migration and was seen as being on the right of her party.
Defection 'strained the generosity of spirit of John the Baptist' Labour's former shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, said he is 'surprised and shocked', adding: 'I'm a great believer in the powers of conversion, but I think even this one would have strained the generosity of spirit of John the Baptist.
