Nadine Dorries

DH is in the bath so I'm having a sneaky peek. Why do they keep saying they have to go hungry if they don't win a trial? They get rice and beans don't they. Nobody's starving.

DH hates I'm a Celeb so we watched Michel Roux Jr on Escoffier (BBC4). Fascinating!

Soop I don't believe anything to do with balls can be exciting!

BAnanas I have never watched I'm a Celebrity ...have only seen brief excerpts that made me cringe.
Whereas the tennis final between Novak and Roger was extremely exciting.

You misguided lot, you could have watched The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler BBC2, 9 p.m yesterday instead of "Mad Nad's" encounters with creepy crawlies!!!!!

I think that the programme should be renamed: I'm a celebrity...please keep me here! That should tidy things up nicely.

And ever the politician, I understand she "lasted" 4 minutes in the creepy crawlie pit , but claimed it was 5!

It's not a new low. They do that trial every year.

sick

How low can that programme, and the people who go on it, go?

Which might have been the reason she became an ambassador for Weight Watchers, Ana?

I think she was quite big in the Shopping Channel area at one time...

I remember the cranberry juice adverts but I don't think she'll be booking a holiday in Turkey in the near future.

Re Fergie - wasn't she terribly broke once the royals cut her loose and managed to get TV work etc to pay off her debts ?

Isn't her constituency due to go if the boundary changes come into effect? Not that I'm cynical you understand…

This smacks of that Sally Bercow woman - anything to get in the public eye! Glad she's not my MP.

At least when she's somewhere in the bush eating bugs, she won't be promoting foolish ideas for changes in the law in the House of Commons. So something good has come out of this idiot woman taking part in an idiot television programme.

Rather think this is a way for her to develop a media career! I have the impression that some MPs get into the job and it does not match their perception of what they thought it would be like!

If any public sector worker (eg teacher/nurse/etc) went off to do a month of moonlighting they would quite rightly be sacked! She undermines the democratic process and needs to be out of politics PDQ!

Has Fergie been on it? Have I missed something really funny?

Jess , not so sure in the case of Sarah Ferguson, to be honest. Depends if you are talking about her children's books, affiliation to Weightwatchers or money to get an introduction to Andrew.

C Hamilton should be applauded for doing what she did to earn money when things went pear shaped. Ditto Sarah Ferguson.
I think the 2 of them agreed that DC v silly. Someone tweeted that it was interesting that he was taking action on this when he couldnt bring himself to discipline the Whip that swore at a policeman!

Merlot , I think very few of us can afford their own petard thses days!

PS I used that phrase ^ a while ago, no one present had a clue what I meant!

Anne Widdecombe apparently said that she felt DC had overreacted by suspending Nadine Dorries and that if the public supported her he'd end up looking very silly...

Suspended by the whip. Is that the same as being hoist by your own petard?
