Obviously the Committee saw something we’ve not re: Dorries.

The whole process is entirely undeserving and a joke in a 21st century democracy. I don’t see why I 29 year old person of a limited skillset and experience should be excluded from the gravy train.

The most sordid part of this whole grubby process is that these are very same people who said we had to Leave to rid ourselves of unelected bureaucrats.

She was a Cabinet member for one year - her previous position was not Cabinet Level (Minister for Patient Safety, Suicide Prevention and Mental Health (2019–2021)).

Ouch!
Quote:
No 10 has criticised Nadine Dorries for delaying her resignation.

At the post-PMQs lobby briefing, asked about Dorries not yet formally resigning her seat, Rishi Sunak’s press secretary said:

It’s obviously unusual to have an MP say they will resign with immediate effect and for that not to take place. The prime minister believes the people of Mid Bedfordshire deserve proper representation in this house and he looks forward to campaigning for the Conservative candidate in the byelection.

Asked if that meant Dorries’ constituents were not currently being served properly, the spokesperson said:

The prime minister believes that it’s important that they have certainty.

Fair play to Boris here. Not satisfied with trashing his own reputation, the economy, and Britain’s standing on a global stage he’s decided he might as well take the Conservative Party down with him.

Delicious.

Just the usual dead cat technique going on here.

Only in part. He got skewered by Kuenssberg when he avoided directly answering what help the Guvmin to could provide to people who faced losing their homes. She pointed out that the Guvmin did furlough and energy bills relief so what would they do for this crisis? Best that Gove could offer was their plan to get inflation down.

It seems that the increased interest rate also affects Guvmin repayments on its borrowing such that there is no money. We're broke.

They’ll act once it looks like house prices will collapse. That’s when the whole Ponzi scheme goes so the kitchen sink will go into saving it.

Capitalism is a good idea until you run out of future generations money.
