Bet he doesn't like Iain Duncan Smith now.

Disgraced former Tory MP Charlie Elphicke has said he is unemployed and making a Universal Credit claim as he was called to court over his failure to pay £35,000 following his sentence for sexually assaulting two women.
The ex-Dover MP, 50, was released half-way through his sentence earlier this year, having being jailed for two years in September 2020 after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault following a month-long trial.<snip/>
Elphicke’s barrister Ian Winter QC had told the court his client had “a fair bit of debt”, and that his estranged wife, Natalie Elphicke, now the MP for Dover, loaned him £100,000 to pay for legal bills. <snip/>
He said he had paid six months’ rent up front for a one-bedroom flat, valued online at nearly £475,000, in Fulham, south-west London adding: “That is why I have very limited cash to meet my living expenses.”
“I have made a claim for Universal Credit that is currently being processed,” Elphicke said.
“They are going to come back to me on December 12 to make sure I can pay the rent in an ongoing way.”
He told the court he had worked with the Step Change debt charity to assess his financial situation but the £1-a-month repayment proposal was not accepted by the court.
“I have no job, I have no career, I am long-term unemployed,” said Elphicke.
“I am working with the job centre and my probation officer to find a new career.
“I have made a claim for Universal Credit.
“I am separated from my wife who has filed for divorce. I have had to find a new place to live.”
