BBC News wrote:Labour voters should support Boris Johnson in the general election, former Labour MP Ian Austin has said.
The former minister resigned from the party in February, accusing leader Jeremy Corbyn of failing to tackle anti-Semitism.
Mr Austin, MP for Dudley North, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Mr Corbyn was "completely unfit" to be PM.
Asked about his comments, Labour's Rebecca Long Bailey said telling people to vote Conservative was "absurd".
The shadow business secretary said Mr Austin had done "great work" as an MP but added that it wasn't "any secret" that he had differences with the Labour leader.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak called Mr Austin's comments a "truly devastating indictment of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership".
Speaking to the Express and Star newspaper, Mr Austin also announced he would be standing down as MP for Dudley North - a seat he held at the 2017 election with a majority of just 22.
He said: "I am so sorry that it has come to this, but as has always been the case, I have to do what I think is right."
He added: "I must do everything I can to stop Jeremy Corbyn from getting into power."

BBC News wrote:Q - Does registering to vote improve your credit score?
A - It can do. Registering to vote puts you on the electoral roll, which helps banks and other lenders verify your identity.
A higher credit score can make it easier to borrow money or enter into financial agreements such as a mortgage or mobile phone contract, and may mean you get a better repayment rate. This could be particularly useful to younger people who haven't had a chance to build up much of a credit rating yet.
Not being on the electoral register may also slow down the lending process, as you could be asked for more documents to verify your identity.

This a bold move by all concerned for the cause of Remain, and the choices involved have been hard ones.
No decisions have been taken lightly, and we owe a debt of gratitude to the candidates and local parties who have taken the principled and generous decisions to step aside at this election.

I'm not intimately familiar with the majority of the seats mentioned above but the ones I do know about (Cheltenham and Cardiff Central) this will have very little impact. Cardiff Central is a strong Labour seat so this is irrelevant and Cheltenham, whilst certainly there is a battle here between LD and Tories the Greens dropping out of the race will barely make a dent in the gap between them. Getting Labour on board would have stood a good chance of tipping that seat in favour of the Lib Dems though.

But it can't because Labour aren't explicitly a remain party.
The Liberal Democrats want to give you the final say on the Brexit deal
