Awful person. She publicly attacked a critic in her constituency, implying that she was fraudulently claiming disability benefits, as she couldn't be that disabled if she could tweet that much (nothing was supposed to be wrong with her fingers!) and go to the pub (obviously disabled people shouldn't have a social life). In any case, I believe that she turned out not to be on benefits, but on paid sick leave while awaiting an operation. Also, probably many MPs have had affairs with married people, but she's the only one to my knowledge, who denounced her partner's ex on her MP blog. And -despite this- she is a religious-rightie, who attacked my former MP Evan Harris for his pro-choice views, calling him 'Dr. Death'. Harris was narrowly defeated in 2010, partly as a result of a religious-right smear campaign that would have disgraced Sarah Palin's constituency. (Not what I need in my backyard. But it was a wake-up call here. The non-Tory parties co-operated far more after that than is usual; got another left-leaning LibDem in in 2017; and in 2019, we were almost the only constituency in England where a non-Tory MP actually increased their share of the vote.) Dorries may have contributed to this smear campaign and certainly gloated over Harris' defeat.
