@tinceor46659 months ago She should be sacked, that's what happens when you don't turn up for work. She has time to write her book and interview people on t.v. why are we paying her an excessive wage for doing nothing. It's ridiculous. You are not going to the house of Lords, You were never going to the house of Lords, have a modicum of decency and dignity and retire. ... 53

@aguywithaview9 months ago Boris made her a promise and she believed him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 7

@terencerowberry24449 months ago She has got to be made to pay back all the money that she has been paid whilst she has been missing from work , that money belongs in the public purse not her purse. 7
@

@annishilcock45879 months ago I think she is revelling in the uproar and the punlicity. Just ignore her and shut off her oxygen. 19
@

@mrd649 months ago She's just like Sunak, she's got far more important things to do than attend parliament. 7
@

@marktucker87379 months ago I think her publisher will feel like they're in "The Shining". She will produce 500 sheets of "I love Boris & Boris loves me" over and over and over. 4

@jsmcbach59359 months ago How about MPS singing in and out of Westminster and providing accurate, evidenced time sheets for the rest of their work? Like the rest of us. 12

@howlinwolfcustoms68709 months ago Takes universal credit to the extreme doesnt she. 😒 13
@

@user-jc4lb5mm7x9 months ago The problem with her was quite simple, she is too old and not posh enough for Johnson to take to bed, so she had no chance with him. 6
@

@jeanetteeftekhar67629 months ago There should be a register of how many times each member of Parliament has attended the House of Commons. This should be for all parties. 6
@

@godot-whatyouvebeenwaitingfor9 months ago Why are people now seeing that she is missing in inaction now? She has done nothing since was given the supersafe mid-beds seat. It actually proves that many areas do not need an MP; a competent Citizens Advice Bureau can do the job for no money... ... 4

@michaeldick62279 months ago She’s too busy throwing a tantrum over not getting a peerage to do anything else. 5

@livingtribunal41109 months ago Dorries is so loyal to Boris Johnson...anyone would think they were having an affair.
😶 👀 💩 17
@

@user-wf3nn6rx5t9 months ago Shes a complete waste of space. The fact that she has her own show on Talk TV which says it all. She, along with many others have done nothing to deserve a peerage, but she must have gone full fruit fly when a 30 year old very pretty 'aide' got into the Lords and she didnt. I bet the book will be worth a read for those who are prepared to add to her bank account. ... 6

@andyn35329 months ago Every time the woman speaks I want to reach for a bottle of something strong and mind numbing. Boris should have jist appointed a goldfish for all her use. 5

@guff95679 months ago "Nadine Dorries" is a foreign name. What is she still doing in Britain after Brexit ? 6

@robertfrancis77679 months ago Nadine: I'm a Nurse, I'm a Super Hero give me a seat.
Party : Whatever you say Super Hero.
Nadine: I'm a Nurse, I'm a crawler, give me a cabinet post
PM: Whatever you say Super Hero, Media and Sport, Absolutely Fabulous PR PR.
Nadine : I'm a Nurse, I'm Super Hero, I met some Council tenants on benefits "they were not real people the were paid actors", I been up the Celebrity Jungle, Give me my peerage NOOOOOWWW.
Sunak: It would be a real peerage.
NADINE: I will write a nasty book about you but I 'll be paid as an MP whilst I do it, Chapter 1 I 'm a Nurse I'm a Super Hero.
Constituents: When are you going
Nadine: How dare you, How dare you, your all actors. ... 9

@

@peterbalchin90779 months ago Is it true that when a Government falls , you get a full honorary ex gratia public sector pension at your front bench salary (40/60ths plus lump sum of percentage of that salary)?
Not that Nadine Dorries would be awaiting the fall of Govt or anything remotely like it. ... 2
