A former Tory minister has quit the party and heaped praise on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer on her way out.

Claire Perry O'Neill, who served as Minister for Energy from 2017 to 2019 under Theresa May, accused the Conservative party of being overcome by 'ideology and self-obsession'.

She was sacked from her role assisting Britain's preparations for the Cop26 summit in 2020 by Boris Johnson, but remained in the party until this month.

Ms Perry O'Neill said, according to The Times: 'As much as I like and admire the prime minister and chancellor, they are too beholden to a party dominated now by ideology and self-obsession to deliver the big changes we need in a fact-based, competent way.'
