Tory MP who said Marcus Rashford should stick to the day job… has second job

EXCLUSIVE

In a private message to colleagues following England’s defeat in the Euro 2020 final, Ms Elphicke said: ‘Would it be ungenerous to say Rashford should have spent more time perfecting his game and less time playing politics’

In a private message to colleagues following England’s defeat, Ms Elphicke said: “They lost — would it be ungenerous to say Rashford should have spent more time perfecting his game and less time playing politics.”

However, the MP herself has spent substantial time away from her day job. The Conservative backbencher earns £36,000 on top of her £82,000 MP’s salary in her role as chair of the New Homes Quality Board (NHQB), an independent watchdog for new-build houses.

Rashford has waged several high-profile campaigns over the past year calling for free school meal vouchers, earning an MBE on Wednesday for his work helping vulnerable children during the Covid-19 crisis.

The footballer forced the Government into two U-turns on the issue, with the Prime Minister announcing in November last year that he would extend free school meal vouchers to children from low-income families during school holidays in England.

 

Rashford later said in an article for The Spectator: “Disappointingly for some, the ‘stick to football’ advice doesn’t cut it where I’m from.

 

The register of MPs’ financial interests shows the MP has spent hundreds of hours on work outside her Parliamentary office since being elected in December 2019, and had a second job at the time she messaged colleagues about Rashford.

Ms Elphicke has been chair of the NHQB since May last year. According to the House Builders Federation (HBF), the NHQB is responsible for overseeing “the quality of new-build homes” and improving customer service in the sector.

Ms Elphicke spent 150 hours on work for the watchdog between her appointment as chair in May 2020 and December last year.

She has since increased her weekly commitment to the role, and will spend around 416 hours working for the body over the next year alongside her Parliamentary duties. She is paid around £3,000 a month for approximately eight hours per week, according to the register of MPs’ financial interests.

Which would be?

This lends credence to my personal theory that most of these attacks are allowed to happen, meaning the authorities are always aware of an imminent situation, the response / outcry to each attack being a particular political excuse to usher in legislation dependent on the direction they want society to travel, or at least gradually alter the mood and temperament of society.

In my younger days I believed these attacks were carefully planned and executed by State actors masquerading as terrorists or at least guys recruited by them

Explain it in your own words because I don't see a middle ground in-between the two that makes sense. What's the halfway position between False Flag, mass-casualty events directed by the State, and organic terrorist attacks that are deliberately allowed to happen with the authorities being fully aware an attack is imminent?

Some can be the first, others the second

Interesting. Which category do you think the really "big" ones fall into, such as 9/11, 7/7, the Madrid bombings; basically every particular type of headline grabbing tragedy that leads to the affected Western country entering into an armed conflict overseas or ramping up their presence somewhere they're already entrenched?

And what about the lone-wolf killings involving one or two guys who just start stabbing or shooting people in public places?

I’ll think more about it and reply . But I see a loT of ‘events’ in the news and think there is something ‘off’ about them. 

whenever someone is ‘killed by the police’ etc then it makes me doubt even more

@Suchimight be able to add more to this thread in the meantime as she has some alternative views on these things I think

The 9/11 seems if anything to have been allowed to happen so that an agenda foreign policy could be pursued. 

Some of events that we see in the news (not the more serious ones/ones where people are directly killed for example), e.g. showing the 'suffering' of people in other countries could be played by actors.

What she meant to say was stay in your place boy. Doesn't he know his approved options are sports, singin dancin and hollerin, and crime?

And for him to embarass her and the government like that. Just ain't right. She's a white woman thank you very much. She didn't drop her integrity all over the place and climb into bed with politics just to get shown up by a ......

And to use his own money and platform like that and not be getting fat kickbacks? How dare he.

Andrew Rosindell said some people on Universal Credit didn’t need the £20 uplift

A Tory MP has stocked outrage for saying MPs ‘are human beings who have families and responsibilities’ in defense of them taking second jobs to top up their £82,000 a year salaries.

Andrew Rosindell has been accused of ‘double standards’ due to past comments he made about the Universal Credit uplift, which was controversially scrapped last month.

Speaking in July after the plans were announced to axe the ‘lifeline’, the Romford MP said some people on the benefit didn’t need an extra £20 per week.

‘I think there are people that quite like getting the extra £20 but maybe they don’t need it,’ he told BBC Politics Live.
