    Sums it up quite nicely. Sympathy for Natalie? There's a lot more deserving of sympathy in this world than she is.

    But that sympathy went only so far. Some speak of a colleague who was described as “bombastic” and was inclined to swim at the top of the current.

    One other woman who had been an MP recently told the Guardian of Elphicke: “Smarmy bugger, suspect where there is smoke, there is fire. Tried it on with me a bit.”

    She praised the role of two female Conservative MPs in dealing with the allegations, Margot James and Anne Milton, who she said would “never have dreamed” of putting party before doing the right thing. Soubry says that too often the opposite has happened. James put the young parliamentary worker in touch with Milton, then chief whip, who advised the woman that she should consider speaking to the police.

    But it was another woman, Elphicke’s wife, Natalie, who was his staunchest and most vocal defender throughout, accusing the party HQ of tipping off the media before he was informed of his suspension. In the 2019 election she won her husband’s former seat for the Conservatives. A credible candidate in her own right with a background in law and Conservative policymaking, some sceptics nevertheless suggested she had been keeping the seat “warm” for her husband.

    Now that he is facing a prison sentence, Natalie Elphicke has now also detached herself from him, tweeting less than an hour after the verdict that it “ends her 25 year marriage to the only man I have ever loved.”
