Nadine Dorries: Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

[wemakeyousoundb]

Shouldn't the thread title be changed? After all, it was depressing enough to be reminded of how low the UK had sunk when it was actually true. I know it isn't all that much better now, but when you're depressed you can try to cheer up at the thought that she no longer is in office, along with the fact that you haven't been attacked by a mad axe murderer that day. Something like Nadine Dorries, Back to Obscurity Where She Belongs, Oh Do Shut Up and Stop Being So Tiresome You Appalling Person.

if you report the original post with your suggestion this mioght happen

Of course, the UK was just fine up until then

I would be remiss of me not point out the correlation between Tories going full 'Tory Bastard' and Liverpool Football Club being good.

Kemi Badenoch got death threats after Dorries made up shit about her.

 

[teqniq]

Whilst making shit up is not a good look, I find it difficult to have any sympathy for Badenoch.

I thoroughly dislike her, but I don't want her dead.

Bloody hell, did both people who read the book threaten her

Bit rich coming from her!

At least party during a Covid lockdown where no one can see.

 

[hash tag]

I can fuck off to I'm a celeb crap in the middle of a parliamentary term which is fine. What is her problem? Sighs

Was it as demeaning as eating ostrich anus on live tv?

 

[brogdale]

Pitching her next book...

 

[brogdale]

The sort of line that Kenneth Williams memes were made for!

 

[Cerv]

she's not a good enough writer to have done that deliberately

 

[zedr]

Pitching her next book...

Lol. I lived in the same tiny town as her for a bit when growing up. Probably not wise to post rumours up, but none of that headline is surprising.

 

[brogdale]

Pob, innit?

 

[PR1Berske]

Pitching her next book...

She is going down the totally unhinged route then

 

[cupid_stunt]

She is going down the totally unhinged route then

She's been on that route for years.

 

[existentialist]

She's been on that route for years.

Unhingedly.

 

[PR1Berske]

She's been on that route for years.

I wonder if she's in shock (Truss certainly comes across as though she's not yet really got her head around what has happened to her). I don't want to undermine anything or anyone, it's just that there is something of the "not quite all there" about them. When the obvious is right there in front of them - Boris' parties, general collapse in support - they go for conspiracy.

Pretty much the same applies to members of the tory party, along with people who vote for them.

I don't think she can get over the fact that Boris still doesn't want her, even though she's been his No.1 fan for years and defended him at every possible opportunity.

Carry On in the Commons

"Are you a front bencher or a back bencher?"

“Oooerr! Cheeky!”

 

[pbsmooth]

I had the misfortune to find out she is also an author. this had past me by. and got a six-figure advance for her first three books. it seems they're terrible but still depressing.

 

[PTK]

Dorries gives authors a bad name.

 

[MrSki]

There was a great quote from someone about her being the only person to have written more books than she has read.

 

[GarveyLives]

"A health minister attempted to block a full public inquiry into suspicious deaths in mental health hospitals, The Telegraph can reveal.

Leaked WhatsApp messages reveal that Nadine Dorries, who was a Conservative health minister under Boris Johnson, sent a message to Matt Hancock, the then health secretary, saying that she was “picking off” families whose relatives had died as a way to ensure a “full public inquiry” into “suspicious” deaths was not launched ..."

[Dystopiary]

That is horrific.
