Labour leader Keir Starmer, left, speaks with former Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke in his parliamentary office in the House of Commons, London, Wednesday May 8, 2024. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was accused Wednesday of leading a “chaotic” government as another one of his Conservative lawmakers defected to the main opposition Labour Party ahead of a looming general election. In a stunning move just ahead of weekly prime minister's questions, Elphicke crossed the floor of the House of Commons to join the ranks of Starmer's Labour Party, which appears to be heading to return to power after 14 years in opposition.
