Nadine Dorries releasing a "tell all book" on eve of Tory conference.

Ohhh, she's not a happy bunny after her hero was removed:

"Commenting on the announcement, Ms Dorries said she “had no idea of the journey I was embarking upon” when she began the book.

She said she had “wanted to discover the forces behind the downfall of the prime minister” but instead “found a fault line within the Conservative Party stretching back decades and a history of deception fuelled by the darkest political arts”.

“If you thought that power flowed from the people into parliament, be prepared to think again,” she added.

Harper NonFiction publisher, Adam Humphrey, who negotiated the deal, said Ms Dorries’s “unique vantage point, unparalleled access to sources, and innate storytelling ability will provide readers of The Plot with a rare opportunity to walk the corridors of power”.

“The Plot is an urgent look at how our Government really operates, and I look forward to it adding to the current political discourse,” he continued.

Ms Dorries also hit out at ITV political editor Robert Peston, who suggested the publication date of her book was deliberately timed to coincide with the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.

“I am sure it is just coincidence that [Nadine Dorries’s] book on how – in her view – Rishi Sunak and his close allies toppled Boris Johnson will be published on the eve of Sunak’s first and massively important party conference as PM,” Mr Peston wrote on Twitter.

Is she still an MP? How does she find the time?!

She hasn't formally resigned her seat yet,*Chocolatelovinggran*.

She's still being paid as an MP (and paying 2 daughters from parliamentary expenses) for no work....

I think that might be in the past MaizieD, don’t you remember her describing her children as leftie snowflakes?

If they are I imagine they will be keen for her to hand in her notice.

Overtaken for a peerage by a 25 year old. Time to move into the slow lane.

All she’s interested in is getting her revenge with Sunak. It’s a disgrace that she is no longer fulfilling her role as an MP but wants to use the by election when she does to inflict as much damage on Sunak as possible angry

Obviously one of them was much better at something than the other- I don't want to think what that something might be!

Has anyone read any of her books?
See them in the library. Didn't bother with them.

Her constituents are fed up. She hasnt held a surgery there for over a year. She hasnt spoken in parliament nor attended for a year. What a disgrace she is. It is het own fault she isnt in the Lords as she was written to and reminded she had to respond within a certain timescale. No sympathy for her at all.

Oh and as for her novels i failed to read a chapter. Her dishing the dirt on Parliament will be Nadines version of the truth.

She's written dozens! How did she find the time.

As they're not free Kindle downloads, no I haven't read one. If one became free, I might - in the interests of research!
