Rishi Sunak told Robert Peston that MP Dan Poulter 'made a mistake' crossing the floor to join the Labour Party.
In a wide-ranging interview with ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston, the prime minister insisted his party represents 'the common sense majority position of the country' and rejected an asylum seeker returns deal with Ireland
In a wide-ranging sit down interview, Mr Sunak also categorically ruled out a migrant return scheme with Ireland or the EU, amid an escalating row over asylum seekers travelling from the UK to Ireland. Asked by Peston if the majority position was to be on the nationalist right, the PM whittled off a list of issues his party are tackling that he believes the British public care about, such as his new reforms to the welfare system, climate change commitments and tackling illegal migration.
Mr Sunak said: "I'm very confident that our scheme is compliant with all our international obligations and I make absolutely no apology for doing everything I can to tackle illegal migration."
