Get popcorn too, extra large

Here is some more Dorries:

Dorries attacks Sunak’s record over her old policy brief of culture: “You flashed your gleaming smile in your Prada shoes and Savile row suit from behind a camera but you just weren’t listening.”

“Your actions have left some 200 or more of my MP colleagues to face an electoral tsunami and the loss of their livelihoods, because in your impatience to become PM you put your personal ambition above the stabliity of the economy and country.”

She is really unhappy with Sunak. That is a scathing letter.

Nadine Dorries quits her Commons seat: Her resignation letter in full | Daily Mail Online

Oh, I can't WAIT for the Tories to come a knocking.

Is there enough popcorn for the inquest after the next election?

I gave up half way with that letter, me, me, me and poor darling Boris

Won't be buying her books any time soon

She is really unhappy with Sunak? Not as unhappy as her constituents are with her, that's for sure.

Has she actually properly resigned this time?

Pot writes letter to kettle...

What a pathetic resignation letter.

I doubt anyone will read it all the way through. I got very bored.

It's fascinating how incredibly lacking in self awareness that woman is.

Dear oh dear.

That letter was a slog. Almost understandable why it took her so long to write it.

She’s completely unaware of the fact she has participated and condoned the Tory parties slide into the cesspit it now finds itself occupying. I’m also curious as to what she’s thinks should have happened following Truss - in the real world, not one where Boris would be welcomed back within a couple of weeks after leaving because he was a dickhead.

Bravo for getting loads of plugs for her book in though. Shame I missed all the (verbal?) attacks she’s received - I might’ve enjoyed some of those.

Says it all that she believes a PM has to have the X factor.
The so called charisma nonsense is exactly what got us in to this bloody mess.

Style over substance every single time.

As for the plotting behind Johnson's back - what the fuck has she been doing for the last 18 months?
What was she up to behind Theresa May's back as Johnson went on manoeuvres in 2019?
As if Dorries has clean hands.

Honest to God they think we have the memory of a goldfish.

Yeah - public sector pay drives inflation (apparently).

I'm waiting for them to acknowledge they e driven public services to the ground and say it was to keep inflation low because paying people to run them - costs us!

I'm at the point that it won't surprise me at low low they'll stoop.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Yes it was all me me me.

Annoyingly though I couldn't help agree with her re the bit about levelling up etc. those good things have not come to fruition and I'm extremely annoyed that the gap between rich and poor has widened.

🤣

There was no plan to level up.

Its was a catchphrase.

(And that makes me cross because it's once again selling a lie and getting in the way of actual workable changes).

I will say I enjoyed the bit where she refused to take Sunaks call. Cowards way out.
As is sticking your resignation letter on the Daily Mail rather than addressing your constituents and local association first.
Urgh.

When the flip can we get rid of this shower?

Rishi Sunak faces fresh conflict of interest row over India trade talks"

It will astonish you to learn that one of the biggest winners from a potential increase in visas would be Infosys, the source of his wife's family's vast fortune.

She did make some points that are valid but then you remember she’s not been part of any solution and has been bunking off at our expense for the best part of a year.

she can get to fuck if she thinks she’ll be remembered as a the champion of equality. At best she’ll be a footnote as Boris’s fawning fan girl who churns out forgettable novels.

Delighted to hear that Mad Nad is finally going but her resignation letter just smacks of BJ.

I'm convinced he's had a hand in composing it. Just another way to have a dig at Sunak (not that I feel sorry for Rishi either though).

There’s no way she wrote that herself. Absolutely no way. If you ignore the content it’s actually very well written, it’s got Johnson’s fingerprints all over it.

If not Johnson himself maybe a few of the Johnson loyalists (Patel/Jenkyns/Mogg etc) will have read & commented.

All outside the tent and happy to direct their aim towards those Prada shoes.

78 days to come up with that. If that's an example of the quality of leadership this country is having to tolerate, it's no wonder it's in a shit state.

Cornetto I agree. Should have been clearer. I agree with her those things never came to fruition - not that they ever necessarily intended them to - just those things would have made a difference and should have been done.

That's the problem though. The party sold a lie to the electorate. Johnson then lied to the electorate. Now we have a succession of PMs who are not leading from a manifesto and so the shower of shite is turning into a monsoon if shite.

I'm glad she's gone. I'm wondering if Mid Beds would like Braverman instead. I'd be happy to donate her
