Last week Nadine Dorries decided to step away from her role and won’t compete as an MP at the news general election.
Did she jump before she was pushed? I guess we will never know.
Dorries, who represents Mid Bedfordshire and has been an MP since 2005, used her new TalkTV show to confirm her departure.
Kool-Aid
Dorries said: “Those MPs who drank the Kool-Aid and got rid of Boris Johnson are already asking themselves the question: who next? And I’m afraid that the lack of cohesion, the infighting and occasionally the sheer stupidity from those who think we could remove a sitting prime minister, who secured a higher percentage of the vote share than Tony Blair did in 1997, just three short years ago …
“That they could do that and the public would let us get away with it. I’m afraid it’s this behaviour that I now just have to remove myself from. And so, despite it being a job that I’ve loved for every year that I’ve done it, I’m now off. Oh gosh, I’ve just said it out loud, there’s no going back now.”
Parody
Well, Sooz Kemper was not going to miss this opportunity to poke fun as Nadine!
