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

[brogdale]

Probably not a good idea to score points off a sexual assault, but you could imagine a Q at prime minister's questions: 'does the prime minister agree with Caroline Nokes on the importance of believing victims of sexual assault?'

That question was kind of asked of him on the day that the story broke when he was up before the select committee chairs. IMMSMC he played a completely straight bat and didn't even offer a scintilla of the usual Johnson smirk.

These retweets were in this exact order on Dorries's twitter timeline. Amazingly, I don't think she thought that through.

She’s now coating off Wragg as ‘attention-seeking’ for reporting misconduct and intimidation, having apparently forgotten that she once ate an anus on live television

Should she remember, she will be keen to point out that the license fee payers didnt pay for the anus.

Erm... What?

 

[magneze]

That's really got me laughing.

Ms Dorries Goes to the Barricades

Otto English has already imagined how the Culture Secretary could write up the last few tumultuous days in Westminster in her (in)imitable novelistic style

While not wishing to remove the shocking pink leavening agent from other threads I needed somewhere to post this:

Is there no beginning to this woman's talents?

She already has her own thread.

Nadine Dorries Strikes Again!

Nadine Dorries Strikes Again!

Thank you! I looked for one and couldn't find it. Search fail.

Any thread on Nadine Dorries, even if it's a repeat, should have her "am I bovvered" interview which I didn't save .

 

[Chilli.s]

She's full of insight, perfect for showing how focused ministers are to their tasks. She should be the next PM, pure (comedy) gold, could bring the house (down) together. Would make BJ look like a real statesman

 

[gentlegreen]

Her prose explains a lot - my naive question is whether she has the mindset of the protagonists / audience, or is it cynical exploitation ?

Given the general level of, shall we say, mind-mindedness she displays (spoiler: none), I'd imagine that she'd struggle to write from a perspective that isn't deeply rooted in her own. If that answers your question

My thinking is that she's just catastrophically thick, and under any pressure is hugely out of her depth.

Freakshow

 

[gentlegreen]

I hope I don't now have an improper prozac-driven dream about her - at least the one featuring Priti Patel was socially-distanced...

Actually, scrub that - that last interview has cured me ...

 

[ohmyliver]

I can't help the feeling that if her interview word for word was part of a political comedy written 10 years ago, it would have been cut for being too implausable.

yeah, someone‘ll probably be along to tell me off for posting Twitter crap but this made me laugh a bit too much.

The snobbish attacks on Nadine Dorries

I see the establishment has a new sport: mocking Nadine Dorries. They really do hate her. Or rather, they love taking the mick out of her. She looks drunk! She only has one book on her shelf! She gives car-crash interviews! She wouldn’t know culture if it bit her on the behind! You don’t need

Apparently we're all snobs for attacking her. IDK if she's read any books or not, but would it be a lot to expect someone with the word "culture" in their job title to have read some anyway?

she doesnt have to read books, she's an actual Author you know.

Quite classist of him to conflate not being of the Eton set with being thick as mince.

Following in Donald Trump’s hallowed footsteps in being one of those rare people who have written more books than they have read.
