Nadine Dorries finally resigns

[LlynTegid]

About time.

Well, we may have an MP here who is able to confront and questions some ideas.

Keir , btw.

Hallelulah

GOOD RIDDANCE to Bad Rubbish !!!

She is such a loon. Her resignation is like a pantomime

I'm guessing a bigger political strategy at play here.

That’s not even worthy of a school newspaper opinion piece.

I thought I was being quite clever with 'dead cert'.

It was reported in The Times and elsewhere;

Well that letter is hysterical. And I mean that in more ways than one.

@clarinova I suppose the risk with regurgitating other peoples opinions means you end up hearing the direct criticism they don’t 🤷‍♀️

It's entirely my opinion that Labour's candidate dressing up as a 'zombie' is highly amusing. The 'dead cert' [to win] reference was my idea as well. You can take a more serious view if you wish.

She was completely useless but it is indeed worrying that Labour and Lib Dem's are fighting with each other!

The vandalism around the entire area and the useless Tory PCC anointed as the Tory candidate should be low hanging fruit for one main opposition party to prove he's useless.

Instead I've got Labour and LD leaflets attacking each other. LD and Greens should be quiet on this one. And I'm a bloody LDer! Well I was until Davey.

Yes, the LD leaflets are awful. Not noticed attack in the Lab ones. Can't wait for LDs to come to my door.

This is even funnier - Labour's 'zombie' candidate apparently has the image of an 'ideal son-in-law'. Not my opinion.

Personable, presentable and always in shirt sleeves, Strathern is now out on the doorstep all day every day, coming across with a clean cut enthusiasm that one imagines matches the retired Mid Bedfordshire residents’ image of their ideal son-in-law.

Sounds like one of the Boris crew, right enough.

I see someone is trying to derail from what is a rather scathing letter about Sunak.

You flashed your gleaming smile in your Prada shoes and Savile Row suit from behind a camera, but you just weren't listening

Ouch

I have more as well....

Considering she said about "zombie parliament"

That's history as early as 2014,

As for the meaning or my interpretation on this quote

"What many of the CEOs I spoke to in the tech sector and business leaders really wanted was meaningful regulatory reform from you as chancellor to enable companies not only to establish in the UK, but to list on the London Stock Exchange rather than New York. You flashed your gleaming smile in your Prada shoes and Savile Row suit from behind a camera, but you just weren't listening. All they received in return were platitudes and a speech illustrating how wonderful life was in California."

From the BBC article.

Some corporations believe or know that they can reduce their taxes by listing on the London stock exchanges vs, their own stock exchanges, chances are the pm was and already knew but other politics with our allies, etc ment his perspectives couldn't alter on that issue.

I suppose Jonathan Reynolds, Hilary Benn, Ian Lavery, Barry Gardiner etc. employ their spouses with 'taxpayers' money' on account of them being socialists?

Not forgetting Jess Phillips who used to employ her husband and Dawn Butler who employed her brother etc. etc.

I feel for @Clavinova now. Shouldn't you be defending Sunak from the claims by Nadine Dorries?

Or should you be defending Nadine?

But worst of all has been the spectacle of a Prime Minister demeaning his office by opening the gates to whip up a public frenzy against one of his own MPs. You failed to mention in your public comments that there could be no writ moved for a by-election over summer. And that the earliest any by-election could take place is at the end of September. The clearly orchestrated and almost daily personal attacks demonstrates the pitifully low level your Government has descended to.

Since you took office a year ago, the country is run by a zombie Parliament where nothing meaningful has happened. What exactly has been done or have you achieved? You hold the office of Prime Minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs. You have no mandate from the people and the Government is adrift. You have squandered the goodwill of the nation, for what?

I wonder if a certain Johnson had a hand in writing that letter as well?

This is a good quote that I hope gets used in Parliament

"Disregarding your own chancellor, last week you took credit for reducing inflation, citing your ‘plan’. There has been no budget, no new fiscal measures, no debate, there is no plan. Such statements take the British public for fools. The decline in the price of commodities such as oil and gas, the eased pressure on the supply of wheat and the increase in interest rates by the Bank of England are what has taken the heat out of the economy and reduced inflation. For you to personally claim credit for this was disingenuous at the very least."

Or it just means that she herself knows of no plan, there could be a plan just that she didn't know any details of it,

How many gallons had she drunk when she wrote her resignation letter? It sounded like a letter to someone who had dumped her & ended a relationship.

My view isn’t taking it seriously at all - that’s the point. Interesting insight into your sense of humour though.

I think this is funny personally:

Shouldn't you be defending Sunak from the claims by Nadine Dorries?

Or should you be defending Nadine?
