Every week, Alexis Conran brings politicians from across the political divide in his dedicated section "Political Frenemies".
This week, Canterbury and South Thanet MPs Rosie Duffield and Craig Mackinlay join Alexis Conran and discuss how they met.
Rosie Duffield explains why she has thought about defecting from the Labour Party to the Conservatives.
Following an interview in the Telegraph published on Friday, Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury since 2017, said: "I'm not being a diva. I'm not a snowflake. I'm literally just saying, Shall I stay in the party?"
She said that the leader of the Labour Party, Keir Starmer, did not get in touch with her after she threatened to quit and join the Conservative Party.
She said: "It is a bit disappointing that just from a human point of view, you know, he hasn't perhaps had the time to do that.
"And to be honest, you know, it does make you question whether anyone really cares."
Rosie Duffield and Craig Mackinlay also talked about how they met and whether Rosie would be welcome in the Conservatives.
