It is a quote from Nadine Dorries' book, 'The Plot'.
Good that it’s getting wider attention.

Prove it!

I don’t know about pint sized, but she has definitely called him a loser and it’s easy to find. Here it is.

I think you will find, MaizieD , that most authors pay researchers for material; it is a recognised job; they are given a brief and ask to collect information on the subject. The author's work is to present it.

His books get terrible reviews.

I genuinely thought you were being ironic when you cited Lord Ashcroft’s books eazybee, just look online to the reviews and the inaccuracies. This was Carrie Johnson’s reaction.

No, I am not joking.
What he has written bears out the information she has given in her many interviews.

But he's nasty about everyone.

So no fear or favour.

Rick Stein’s for lunch Joseann?!!

He is nasty, sexist, misogynistic and inaccurate. I’ll give him one thing though, he excels at hyperbole. It’s like reading Barbara Cartland on politics, even funnier than Nadine.

And vengeful.

I could write more but I am more restrained than him.

MissAdventure Fri 26-Apr-24 15:18:43

Is he a short arse, though? đŸ€­

Not with dog in tow! Sandwiches on a bench.
Mariners (Paul Ainsworth) in Rock tomorrow evening though. Leaving dog with DS and family!

I think you'll find, eazybee that I said that the research was paid for.

However, that is no guarantee that the research is thorough or accurate.

I’m sure the sandwiches did just fine Joseann !
I must look up Mariners for when we are next in Cornwall.
My husband is always on the lookout for somewhere different (and good) for us to try!
