Conservatives in Suffolk left ‘speechless’ after MP’s defection

Labour, which has hopes of doing well in Suffolk at the next general election, sees the defection of a practising doctor as a significant moment.

Jess Asato, Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Lowestoft, said: “Like Dan, many former Conservatives are now recognising that only Labour has answers to the change our country desperately needs.”

On Monday Dr Poulter is expected to return to Parliament and “cross the floor” to sit on the opposition benches, as the Labour MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. The first time the constituency has had a Labour MP in its 27-year history.

This may be a significant moment for local politics in a county that has always been dominated by the Conservatives.

Yet with a majority of more than 23,000, the Conservative Party hopes that Dr Poulter’s seat will return to the fold in the next general election.
