MP Natalie Elphicke is disgraceful!

[blaisealex]

MP for Dover and Deal Natalie Elphicke said in a chat to Tory MPs, "They lost - would it be ungenerous to suggest Rashford should have spent more time perfecting his game and less time playing politics."

Utterly disgusting and shameful from the Tory MP who's Husband Charlie Elphicke went to Prison for being a Sexual Predator. She also sold the story to The Sun for £25,000. She spends the majority of her time going on about 'illegal immigrants' coming into Dover on Dingys than actually tackling the issues that Dover has as the 4th most deprived area in Kent.

AIBU to think she is disgusting?

Sadly I bet she's the tip of the iceberg in respect to that opinion.

Fair play to Tyrone Mings for calling out Priti Patel tonight as well.

Also sad that our footballers hold the govt to more account than the opposition parties though.

Would it be ungenerous to suggest that had Elphicke and her MP colleagues done their job properly, Mr Rashford wouldn't have to flag up injustice in the very system that is supposed to support those in most need?

She is an utter twat. But I'm curious as to who leaked her comments.

But 11% think OP is unreasonable.

I suppose we can infer from that what we will.

Vile woman

Unfortunately we shall see her in a number of interviews claiming what she said was taken wrongly but that maybe she has a point. She will know her audience I’m guess LBC tomorrow

I was so disgusted by the comment made by this Tory MP that I emailed her and politely informed her that Marcus Rashford wouldn't have had to make the stance he did about free school meals if her incompetent boss had dealt with it properly in the first place.

How dare she criticise anyone else after what's gone on in her life? Words fail me.

We need more people like Marcus Rashford in the world. I don't know this woman, but perhaps someone needs to enlighten her on the good work he has tried to do and is no doubt still doing. The England team were all very young and it's a game. Folk need to cut them some slack.

I read that Simon Hoare (I think?) called her out on it in the whatsapp. Told her it was not only ungenerous but also unwarranted and plain wrong. He has gone up in my estimation.

I think she needs some tips from Rashford on how to be a decent human being.

If people like her are doing their job, footballers wouldn't have to do it for them, but you must know your days are numbered when a message from a private chat of MPs on your own side gets leaked

She's a disgrace.

A disgrace to the sisterhood. Let's chuck the vile moron out and use the pronoun 'it' from now on.

Just marking place for when this thread inevitably gets moved into petitions & activism, so I can sign it. She & Priti Patel need to do one, the racist hypocrites. IMHO.

You have used a word which is a disablist slur.

Rashford: Creates consciousness of child poverty, creates systems to alleviate it. Donates his own money to support it. Inspires young people by his own life story. Is a major part of the best performing England team for 55 years. Natalie Elphicke.... errrr remind me again apart from sending poisonous tweets what have you done?

Marcus Rashford is a British citizen and as such has every right to take part in the political life of his country, just like any other citizen. Political engagement isn’t the preserve of a select few.

Vile, mean spirited women. How dare she attack this young man, who has done nothing but help people. Shame on her.

I think it was a shitty thing to say but I don't think demanding she resign for it is proportional.

It's not a criminal thing to say and it doesn't fall far below the usual guff spouted by MPs in an attempt to point score.

She was elected by her constitution to represent them in Parliament, they should be the ones to get rid of her.

She's a perfect Tory MP. Opportunist & absolutely no moral compass. What's the problem?

Think most mp’s are disgusting liars cheats and thieves. This behaviour does not surprise me.

@Gilead

14% racists then? 😡

Do explain how those people are racist

YABU to have only just noticed how repugnant she is.

Well, I'm one of her constituents and I want her out. I think demanding she resigns is totally proportional. This is just one of the many disgusting things she has done, added to a long list.

Her comments the worst thing I've heard/ read around all this. She's basically saying that as he is young, black and a footballer he should stay out of politics. That really shows how these politicians regard the rest of us.

Yes, and she’s also saying that thinking hungry children should be fed is ‘politics’.
