The 53-year-old has been in the firing line of the migrant crisis as the MP for Dover in Kent, where many of those crossing the Channel in small boats come ashore.
Natalie Elphicke shocked Westminster today as she crossed the floor to join Labour with a broadside at her former Tory colleagues over border security.
Her defection prompted anger from Tory MPs, with former minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns tweeting: 'You were a centre right Conservative, Labour want to give asylum to 50,000 plus people.Her post contains a screenshot of a headline saying: 'Don't trust Labour on immigration they really want open borders, warns Natalie Elphicke.'
She hit the headlines in 2020 after she dumped her self-proclaimed 'naughty Tory' husband on Twitter after 25 years of marriage. It is the first time the pair had been pictured together since they arrived hand-in-hand at court throughout his trial, which culminated in Mrs Elphicke storming out after the verdict.
'It was obvious to me from reading the evidence during lockdown that the criminal allegations against him were complete nonsense, and I still believe they are.' The former Dover MP was jailed in September 2021, but it was not revealed until the following November that a quintet had provided positive references to the judge at Southwark Crown Court - MPs Gale, Stewart, Holloway and Villiers, plus peer Lord Freud.
In a message first revealed by GB News, Mrs Elphicke told other Tories: 'They lost - would it be ungenerous to suggest Rashford should have spent more time perfecting his game and less time playing politics.'
