Dover needed to be free of any Elphicke association. In my view Charlie Elphicke wasn’t a good MP either.

We have also had far worse than Charlie in the past.
Natalie, who is a complete waste of time, seems not to have a single original thought on anything and is only there to toe the party line, if she stands again and I hope not, I very much doubt the Tories will win this seat regardless of the national trend.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Actually I quite like the idea of MPs doing very little. It's when they start having 'bright ideas' that things tend to go wrong.

Spoke in the House on prisoners' mental health, mind you.

Did she declare an interest?

She disavowed any familial connection.

As an example of our MPs abilities, have a look at her Facebook page. She posted an article yesterday at 16:18 which is about an issue and has posted a photo of her and three other people stood on the cliffs.
I would guess looking at the photo, none of them are related and even if it was considered work (and therefore exempt from mixing groups) social distancing still applies, and if you can't keep apart you should be wearing PPE!
What a great example to set her constituents!

The same photo she used a year ago! Taken before the covid pandemic, but don't let that get in the way will you?

Exactly, transparency and honesty should prevail and she should have made clear this was taken pre COVID, not give the impression it was taken recently.

Do you really believe she wanted to give the impression it was taken recently, it was just a relevant photograph for the subject matter.
Should you have checked your facts before accussing four people of breaking the law?

Indeed. It's bad form to make up stuff about the Elphicke woman. Besides, she's condemning herself and doesn't need the help.

Clearly I've hit a nerve, but if you are going to use an old photo, given the serious situation we find ourselves in, I would have thought a little comment to inform that this was pre COVID would stop people like me getting the wrong impression.
Perception is also important and clearly my immediate perception of what I've seen differs from others?
Next time I will go through an entire social media account just to check my facts and ensure an old photo has not been used......
By the way, I have not accused anyone of breaking the law, as I believe social distancing isn't the law, merely guidance we should all try to follow, but maybe someone here knows better?

Correct, 2m is guidance not law (and 'conjured up out of nowhere', according to Prof. Dingwall).
Wouldn't go near FB, so cannot comment on her page.

Indeed social distancing is not enforceable, how could it be? But meeting people outside of your household is!
My point is (criticism of Nat) posts like this just exemplify why most people are sick to death of politics.
People just looking for excuses to disparage those they oppose or disagree with.
As WGS says our Nat is doing a grand job of condemning herself.

A little more thought should have gone into the photo
