  1. You know how when you hear in the news that someone who used to be quite famous but hasn't been active much in recent years has just died at a ripe old age, and you think "Oh, I didn't realise they were still alive"?

    Pretty much how I felt on hearing that #MadNad had defected to Reform. I kind of assumed she'd joined them long ago.

    Lanz begreift so langsam, dass #KRIEG wohl nicht mehr das richtige Mittel ist, heutige Konflikte zu lösen.

    Lanz spricht über
    Bernd #Dörries,
    #Süddeutsche Zeitung #SZ

    "Wir müssen uns alle fragen, ob wir so sein wollen, weil …
    Krieg ist längst Institutionalisiert worden ist, sich verstetigt hat,
    und die Antwort auf alles immer nur töten, töten, töten ist und
    er erinnerte in dem Zusammenhang
    an einem Satz von #Netanjahu, der vor 10 Jahren mal gefragt wurde, ob er glaubt, dass man für immer mit dem Schwert werde leben müssen, und seine Antwort war: JA.
    Das bedeutet, wo ist der ernst gemeinte Versuch, sozusagen zu einer anderen Lösung zu kommen, seit 7 Jahrzehnten, um mit dieser Spirale der Gewalt irgendwann mal zu einem Ende zu kommen.
    Wir werden das Problem heute nicht lösen, wir werden es auch in den nächsten Jahren vermutlich nicht lösen.
    Die Aktualität hat uns heute wohl eingeholt."

  3. "You might think that Johnson’s obvious failings and his instinct to lie his way out of trouble finally drove his MPs to get rid of him. But Dorries seems unable to imagine anyone looking at Johnson and seeing less than the evolutionary peak of our species." Robert Hutton

    "She sipped her champagne. “You’ll have to find that out for yourself. I know the entire story, as does everyone else in Westminster, but for some reason we haven’t done anything or told anyone.”" Robert Hutton

    "So bits of Dorries’s book might be hilariously mad, bits of it might be unproven, and bits of it might be horribly true. Arguably, the mere existence of The Plot – by someone who was a cabinet minister until relatively recently – is but one indication that the government and the wider political culture are very much on fire."

  11. Personally I think Dorries is just upset she didn't get a peerage.

    🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

    Mad #Nadine #Dorries resignation letter in full!

    Sounds like she was supping from a keg, but will she awake this morning with drunkards remorse? 🤔

    "I am grateful for your personal phone call on the morning you appointed your cabinet in October, even if I declined to take the call"

    "You flashed your gleaming smile in your Prada shoes and Savile Row suit from behind a camera, but you just weren't listening."

    BBC News - Nadine Dorries resigns: Conservative MP attacks PM as she quits Commons
    bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-666

  14. CW: uk politics

    Nadine Dorries has finally quit.

    According to the BBC, her goodbye letter to Sunak says that "in your impatience to become prime minister you put your personal ambition above the stability of the country and our economy."

    I mean she's not wrong, but it's more than slightly hypocritical coming from a woman whose sole claim to political capability comes from being the most loyal follower of Boris Johnson!

  15. Nadine Dorries resigns: Conservative MP attacks PM as she finally quits Commons …at long last.

    In a lengthy statement Ms #Dorries accused Mr #Sunak of "demeaning his office by opening the gates to whip up a public frenzy" against her.

    Surely any demeaning , and whipping up of public frenzy was all of her own making? Pretty sure that’s how her ill-served constituents will see it.

    🚨*BREAKING NEWS*🚨

    #Dorries sends resignation letter to PM, launching scathing attack on him!

    She accused #Sunak of "demeaning his office by opening the gates to whip up a public frenzy" against her.

    "Despite what you & the media have implied, my team of caseworkers & I have continued to work for my constituents faithfully & diligently to this day.

    You have abandoned the fundamental principles of CONservatism & history will not judge you kindly?" 😳

  17. She ( #dorries ) accused the prime minister of abandoning "the fundamental principles of Conservatism"

    Given she is besotted with the #vacuumOfIntegrity = exactly which "principles" is she referring to?

  18. CW: Opinion Piece

    "Dorries duly emerged from the metropolitan elite circles gestured towards in her bio, issuing a statement to the News Agents podcast in which she claimed to be “working daily”.

    This seems to be news to many in the constituency. Dorries has not held a surgery for three and a half years, and the building in which she once did so was long ago turned into a dance studio."

  19. “… Victor Tugelbend was also the laziest person in the history of the world.
    Not simply, ordinarily lazy. Ordinary laziness was merely the absence of effort. Victor has passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out the far side. He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labour”
