    Yeah, come on.
    It’ll be a laugh.

  3. The way things are going I’m tempted to drop a tenner on her winning it… Could offset my energy bills with a bit left over for comics and fizzy pop!

  4. …………..what the everloving fuck

    also wtf even is woke culture in this country outside of being a boogeyman buzzword?

    like times change, i get you’re the Conservative Party but grow up

  5. Oh Christ, that’s all we need on the world stage: *that*.

    Go on, Little Dorries. May your titanic intellect shine forth and *fucking dazzle* us!

  6. > fighting woke culture

    It’s been 0 days since a British Tory went without saying woke.

    Christ, this country wraps itself in outrage constantly about Americanised it’s becoming while being unable to compare itself against anything other than the US. Politicians and increasingly the public seem to like nothing better than vomiting forth the latest buzzwords and culture war non-issues that some Ivy League “think tank” fellow cobbled together.

  7. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    *breaths*

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  8. My instinct is to laugh, but then I look back at the recent timeline. I never thought any of this things were possible either. 😨

  9. I assume this is other mps taking the piss.

    Nadine: do you think I should try and become pm?

    Other mps: yes definitely nadine you should go for it … snigger, snigger

  10. I just do not understand her. She is a qualified NURSE. A NURSE. How the hell does a NURSE ever join the Tories?

    I’m a Christian and I don’t understand how any Christian reads the Bible and reaches the same conclusion as Dorries and her ilk. The Bible has a lot to say about equality, universal love and financial responsibility that are just completely ignored by the Tories.

  11. Her strategy is to pitch herself as a “continuation” candidate. Bold move. Should be amusing to watch.

    On the other hand, I’m a little worried her presence alone in the contest could make someone like Sunak look that much more appealing just in comparison.

  12. This woman is an utter loony who clearly has some sort of fixation on Boris.

    She’s the equivalent of those fucking spoons in the US like Marjorie Taylor Dildokins who keep doing the Trump style “well if guns are controlled in Japan, where is Abe?” stuff.

    This is politics now, the fucking Cult of Personality.

  13. …I sort of assumed her issues were do with substance abuse rather than just being thick.

    There is no quantity of *any* substance that could make you launch a leadership bid based on aping the guy who just got bloody booted.

    The major upside of Johnson’s downfall isn’t actually him going, it’s sending these absolute lunatics to the back of the class where they belong.

  14. She reminds me of my Aunt. A deeply disturbed, bitter, angry, old woman with a deep hate to see anyone have a tiny success. She is always there to piss on your successes and believes that with her one dimensional intelligence, only she is worthy if praise. I hope Nadine Dorres, like my Aunt, catches fire as soon as possible.
