Poor Nadine !

She still hasn’t resigned.

It’s not a matter of banging your ruby clad heels together and chanting ‘I immediately resign’ . There is an official process which she hasn’t yet started.

Talking to Piers Morgan on Talk TV today:

Ms Dorries slammed Mr Sunak and James Forsyth – his political aide – as “privileged posh boys” who stopped her being offered a seat in the Lords.

“I’m broken-hearted, not just for me but for everyone who comes from a background like mine,” she said.

Mr Johnson’s own background was not a fair comparison because he attended Eton on a scholarship and has “no money”, she claimed.

This woman is deluded - she has earned her nickname, and it’s scary to think she was ever a minister.

She cant sit in both houses at the same time. She failed to follow the rules or rather BJ misinformed her.

What a little sycophant she was. Boris could do no wrong.

She never did any work in parliament anyway: I’ve read that she spent half the time writing her novels. I bet she thought she deserved a Dame’hood for her literary achievements alone.

She's now referring to 'sinister forces'. Her attempt to privatise Channel 4 - a public service broadcaster like the BBC - was outrageous. Good riddance.

The committee blocked it for some reason. But, after Johnson's tantrum throwing statement last night, it's good riddance to both...👏👏👏

Dorries' tantrum is almost as hilarious as the death of little Nell (with apologies to Oscar Wilde).

Just thought- is there a breakaway Real Conservative Party in the making? Low taxes etc
And I had hoped for the end of psychodrama…

How would an elected second chamber be any better? We have already lost trust in one elected chamber. Having two which we have no trust in would only make matters worse.

Considering the subsequent news of Johnson’s immediate resignation, I think this is Nadine standing by her man.

It's starting to become meaningless.

Can we have an elected Second Chamber, please?

Exactly!

I wonder if Mrs Johnson has influenced this slight to a woman who appeared to be in love with her husband?

That was my first thought too!!

Even the omission of Nads doesn't make up for the Damehood for Priti. If I was Dame Judi or Maggie I'd be handing it back.

My heart bleeds nor the horrible wife beating father

What about Stanley "it was only the once" Johnson?

I don't think she's been scorned - something is afoot!

I'm sure she's destined for the Lords, in time.

Or is she taking one for the team? She is the news, the rest of the list is slipping under the radar as a result.

She’s thrown her toys out of the pram - stepping down as an MP immediately. A woman scorned …

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
