Always vaguely impressed by anyone who can write a book, even if it's a right load of cobblers.

You can get daily doses of Dorries's deathless prose here:
and visit her own author website, hosted by her publisher, for insights into her sources of inspiration.

Isn't there some saying that everyone has (at least) one book in them?
Would it be unkind to suggest that in Dorries' case it would have been better left unwritten or at least unpublished?

I think she probably took a massive shit one day, and the book left. What remains are the components of an attempt to lump together a few tagnuts and dangleberries into some sort of (purple) prose. She writes like someone who thinks writing is more important than reading.

Even that pile of steaming shite pales into comparison when compared to Morrissey's debut 'novel', aptly titled List of the Lost:
"Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza's breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra's howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza's body except for the otherwise central zone."

Yeah, but try getting it out. I used to write short stories as a lad - I must have been okay at it (or very lucky), as I won the short story competition at uni one year (not bad for a computer science student
). It's difficult enough putting pen to paper for a short story, never mind (I imagine) planning out a novel and getting it written, even if it is a load of balls in the end. So that's why I have some basic level of respect for anyone who manages to get a few hundred pages together.

Dorries is in this job so Johnson can troll the luvvies / arty types. He knows he is utterly detested in the worlds of art, music & theatre and that 90-95% of that world would never vote for him. So send in an absolute cretin who was one of the first vocally public English nationalist / flirting with UKIP Tory members- very much not a mainstream position when she was voicing it about a decade ago.
Of course the mutual loathing between this government and the UK culture industry is not a big blot on his landscape, but Dorries in this job is a very big "fuck you" from the Tory government in response- that and the insidious destruction of a sector of the economy that has been extremely significant to the UK exchequer in the last 30-40 years.
One of the few things that unites the warring fragments of the Tory upper echelons- the Johnson / Cummings divide- is a genuine loathing of contemporary arts, arts graduates, humanities graduates. Cummings is a complete lunatic on the subject.

This is true, especially if you eat several tins of Alphabetti-Spaghetti.
Though finding a enthusiastic editor may prove more problematic.

"The award-winning crime novelist Abir Mukherjee, wielding his words with a skill far removed from Dorries’ vapid prose, tweeted: “Calling Nadine Dorries an author is like saying cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer was a chef.”
