Nadine Dorries

There was also an interesting interview on Radio 4 earlier with Anne Widdicome and Christine Hamilton, during which the news broke that ND had been suspended by the whip (if you know what I mean).

Both parties named above made very valid comments, I was surprised at my own attitude to the comments made by CH, as previously I have not thought much of her at all, but today she was quite intelligent!

I think it was on the Pm programme that starts at 5pm. Worth a listen.

Interesting column in todays Telegraph...

gracesmum Very well said! Anyone prepared to take part on a so-called reality show, has to be a prime twit!

I usually watch the first one to see who's on and then the last one to see who wins. Can't be bothered with the rest of it. Surely it's run its course by now?

Hope?

whenim64, merlotgran that was a deliberate mistake - I didn't want anyone to think I'd watched it!! Actually thought it was great, especially the Mrs manners person, Liz Somebodyorother. My daughter still lived at home when it was on and we used to laugh together.

Ms Dorries made the 10pm News - there is hope!

Yes, of course she is, but at least those who voted for her would have the satisfaction of not voting for her next time!

She is paid to represent all her constituents, not just those who voted for her.

Well said, gracesmum. Couldn't believe it when I heard a sitting MP was pushing off for a month to do something so stupid! I would be if I was one of her constituents. (Mind you, there is no way I would have voted for her, but still.)

Sel I think her name's Rosemary Shrager. Now, if Shergar turned up in the jungle THAT would be interesting

Ha Ha Sel Rosemary Shrager would enjoy being compared to Shergar

The two I know are Colin Baker, ex Dr Who and Rosemary Shergar - she was on Ladette to Lady, a cook and a nice person I thought. There's a boxer and I think Linda Ronson (not sure correct name).

Surely this will end her political career.

I hope the electorate of mid-Beds whom she is supposed to be representing in parliament have a few things to say, not least when the next election comes round.

I shouldn't think the people who vote for the trials have ever heard of Nadine Dorries. Who else is going?

It's unbelievable. She's paid to do a job and is taking a month off without telling anyone and putting herself in a place where it wouuld be impossible to do her job. I would like to see anyone with a proper job get away with that. This is no better than the expenses thing, they don't realise they are paid by the taxpayer, not the magic porridge pot. It's a form of theft.

Hopefully the British public will vote for her to do all the 'trials' and she will suffer. Grrrrrrr.

Goodness knows what her constituents think. This is treating them with utter contempt.

Gracesmum - spot on, as usual!

Gracesmum brilliant..... again!

I heard someone say that she has very able staff who can deal with things in her absence - in which case why are we paying her a very large salary? Also it seems she will be missing some very important votes in the Commons - I trust all her constituents will be writing to her complaining of their lack of representation. She isn't a celebrity she is (or should be) a serious politician.

Well said Gracesmum. Couldn't have put it better myself

As Ella said, it stands for Can't Stop Laughing!

Can we please know what CSL is so that we can all have a laugh. Much needed at the moment

I share your anger gracesmum. They should definitely dock her pay!

CSL can't stop laughing ??

CSL??
Another point is that she is a public servant and this public employer has not granted her time off *with pay.
(What's CSL?)

C S L

I agree, gracesmum. She said on our local news that she wants to use the opportunity to get one or two important points across. Oh yeah? Hasn't she heard of the House of Commons?
