Poor Nadine !

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

She’s thrown her toys out of the pram - stepping down as an MP immediately. A woman scorned …

Or is she taking one for the team? She is the news, the rest of the list is slipping under the radar as a result.

I don't think she's been scorned - something is afoot!

I'm sure she's destined for the Lords, in time.

What about Stanley "it was only the once" Johnson?

My heart bleeds nor the horrible wife beating father

I wonder if Mrs Johnson has influenced this slight to a woman who appeared to be in love with her husband?

Even the omission of Nads doesn't make up for the Damehood for Priti. If I was Dame Judi or Maggie I'd be handing it back.

That was my first thought too!!

It's starting to become meaningless.

Can we have an elected Second Chamber, please?

Exactly!

Considering the subsequent news of Johnson’s immediate resignation, I think this is Nadine standing by her man.

How would an elected second chamber be any better? We have already lost trust in one elected chamber. Having two which we have no trust in would only make matters worse.

Just thought- is there a breakaway Real Conservative Party in the making? Low taxes etc
And I had hoped for the end of psychodrama…

Dorries' tantrum is almost as hilarious as the death of little Nell (with apologies to Oscar Wilde).

The committee blocked it for some reason. But, after Johnson's tantrum throwing statement last night, it's good riddance to both...👏👏👏

She's now referring to 'sinister forces'. Her attempt to privatise Channel 4 - a public service broadcaster like the BBC - was outrageous. Good riddance.

She never did any work in parliament anyway: I’ve read that she spent half the time writing her novels. I bet she thought she deserved a Dame’hood for her literary achievements alone.

What a little sycophant she was. Boris could do no wrong.

She cant sit in both houses at the same time. She failed to follow the rules or rather BJ misinformed her.

Talking to Piers Morgan on Talk TV today:

Ms Dorries slammed Mr Sunak and James Forsyth – his political aide – as “privileged posh boys” who stopped her being offered a seat in the Lords.

“I’m broken-hearted, not just for me but for everyone who comes from a background like mine,” she said.

Mr Johnson’s own background was not a fair comparison because he attended Eton on a scholarship and has “no money”, she claimed.

This woman is deluded - she has earned her nickname, and it’s scary to think she was ever a minister.

She still hasn’t resigned.

It’s not a matter of banging your ruby clad heels together and chanting ‘I immediately resign’ . There is an official process which she hasn’t yet started.

Wiggling her nose like Samantha in Bewitched and saying she wants to be a Lady is perhaps more her style?
