[00:00:00]Where are we less than two years later?

[00:00:02]You're in a different party. We're here.

[00:00:06]We >> [laughter] >> We're here.

[00:00:10]Where are we? We're here.

[00:00:12]>> You used to be there. We're here. There was laughter in the House of Commons as Reform's Robert Jenrick was mocked by a Liberal Democrat MP. Jenrick defected from the Conservatives in January. His pre-prepared speech went wrong as he was heckled by Max Wilkinson representing Cheltenham who pointed out that he switched sides.

[00:00:32]Jenrick asked, "Where are we?" Wilkinson retorted, "You're in a different party."

[00:00:37]Jenrick tried to continue, but pointing to the Tory benches, Wilkinson then told him, "You used to be over there."
