Top Tory MP defects to Labour in fury at NHS crisis
Tory MP and former health minister, Dr Dan Poulter, defected to Labour, criticizing the Conservatives for becoming a "nationalist party of the right" and abandoning compassion and NHS prioritization.
Poulter, who works as a part-time mental health doctor, announced his resignation as a Tory MP and will join Labour until the next election.
He will not seek re-election to the House of Commons but plans to advise Labour on mental health policies while focusing on his NHS work.
