"Country being run by a zombie parliament!" says horrific looking woman who has been dead for a year.
Shame he did not have thec b@!!s to sack her.At least Sunak stopped her getting a peerage.
Sack her from what, exactly. All Sunak could have done was withdrawn the party whip. Dorries would still have been an mp.Shame he did not have thec b@!!s to sack her.
And it was Holac who binned her HoL nomination. Johnson knew about it and sh@t out of telling her. He then asked Fishi for a favour which was refused, because the action would have been highly irregular.
Another one bites the dust. Marvelous.
Your bar on lush is extremely low I feel.She is lush
True dat.To be fair, when you are pi55ed it’s difficult to write at all.
That's exactly how a leader sacks an MP from the party isn't it?6

On a side note we have had both labour and lib dem reps at our house in the last week. No sign of the tory canvassers yet, oh I live in central beds.
Had an argument with the lib dem candidate today. He tried to defend the lib dem record whilst in coalition with the tories. Not a vitrioloic argument, but we certainly didn'y see eye to eye.
Looking forward to a visit from the tory rep/candidate.
I've a friend that is a senior civil servant and they say that The Thick of It reflected the idiocy and the absurbity of daily life in a department but feels they toned it down as otherwise people wouldn't believe it.He claims (and I'm not sure how true it is, was maybe exaggerating a bit but probably not as much as you'd hope) that her office spent most the time trying to stop her putting stuff on twitter without it being vetted first.
Allegedly used to go and hide in the toilet to send tweets.
Not sure eggo. Withdrawing the whip isn't explusion from the party. To eject them from the party, I don't know what the tory mechanism is. Whether Sunak could even do that without support from others in the party.That's exactly how a leader sacks an MP from the party isn't it?
It needs a call from her local constituency conservative chair.Not sure eggo. Withdrawing the whip isn't explusion from the party. To eject them from the party, I don't know what the tory mechanism is. Whether Sunak could even do that without support from others in the party.
Her book about Johnson is out at the end of September. With the advance, the book launching just before the Tory conference, and timing her resignation now, I don't think the £10 to £20K extra will even register with her. She could make £500K+ from the book ..... and the rest .....Announces standing down six months ago, few days after MP pay for stepping down doubles she confirms it.
Coincidence?
I thought it was in reference to an MP that loses their seat at an election rather than stepping down but either way its gone from 2 to 4 months salary and so it's an extra £14k.Announces standing down six months ago, few days after MP pay for stepping down doubles she confirms it.
