Nadine Dorries in hot water again & Sunak does nothing

Nadine Dorries, yes her again, is back in the news for the wrong reasons…as ever.

She announced she will step down as an MP at the next election, and it appears she has already checked out.

‘Unquiet quitting’ in her case perhaps?

Salary

Now Dorries has been told to hand back her £84,000 MP salary as it emerged she has not spoken in the Commons for almost eight months.

Dorries last spoke in the House of Commons on July 7.

It appears she is more interested in TV stardom rather than doing the job for the people who voted her into power.

Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper has said she is “taking the people of Mid Bedfordshire for granted” and called on Mr Sunak to “have the guts to remove the Conservative whip”.

However, Rishi Sunak is refusing to boot her out even though she has gone AWOL, reports The Mirror.

Reactions

Think it was Confucius who said…

If we enforced even the most basic HR standards for MPs, Nadine Dorries would have been sacked years ago. 2% attendance on the innovation and skills committee, failed to attend any session of the science & tech committee, just a chronically lazy, absent representative. https://t.co/ty4KLHP7Dy

Well who knew – there ARE standards in our Parliament – you just have to look bloody hard to find them. https://t.co/Ui1t6WBERv

Quite right, too. Now, how about @BorisJohnson – he's barely in his constituency from one month to another? https://t.co/3v7oxk0qD2

I’m sure there’s a government scheme called Restart that would get this work shy grifter back in to meaningful employment. #ToriesOut237 #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/kVOjD2zHcA

This lot tell us all the time that many of the country’s problems are down to us not working hard enough. Oh for a job that pays £84k for doing sweet FA.
