Carol Vorderman is 'fuming' with the Labour Party | LBC

Deputing foreign secretary Andrew Mitchell has hit out at Labour defector Natalie Elphicke after she denied claims that she tried to lobby the Justice Secretary over the trial of her sex offender ex-husband.

It comes after she was accused of trying to lobby the Justice Secretary over the trial of her sex offender ex-husband.

Mr Mitchell told LBC's Sunday with Lewis Goodall: "Traitors never sleep well, they are despised by their old party and they're never trusted by their old party.

"I would be very surprised indeed if anyone were to follow Natalie Elphicke who is already presenting very serious problems of principle for the leader of the Labour party who was a former Director of Public Prosecutions.

"If you look at what she's said, she's in opposition to almost everything the Labour party stands for."

Carol Vorderman provides her thoughts and analysis on the defection.
