Perhaps the Whatsapp sexts between her and Boris where about to be released!! 🤢🤮🤣
WhatsApp revealed MadNad couldn't spell Baroness.
Perhaps Boris is about to lose his constituency and Mad Nad is sacrificing her seat to get him back in HOC. 😆
Strange after the reports that she'd been binned from the honours list?
Her peerage got knocked off Boris' honours list because Rishi doesn't want a by-election right now. And she's clearly not happy about it, because who else is going to ennoble her? So he can have a by-election anyhow, whether he wants one or not!
There seems to be something funny going on.
She was taken off Johnsons honours list and it was to be "reviewed".
If she had been put in the HoL, then this would of triggered a by-election. However, the review might of allowed her to see out her stint and standdown at the next election, then move to the HoL.
Sunak didn't want that by-election right now.
There seems to be something funny going on.
How unusual.

If only they would run the country instead...or maybe it's best they don't give it all their attention!
I never thought I'd say this but well played Rishi. Either way there was going to be a by-election but at least this prevents that muppet entering the HoL (although it might've been a laugh).
The problem is that it's a very safe Con seat. I can actually see this being a win for them giving a much needed boost and positive result to spin as part of the GE narrative that is now in the air.

The truth will out soon - and I too suspect the BoFlo WhatsApp may expose something. Hopefully her behaviour, not her physically.

agree cant see it ever being anything other tory, maybe Reform might get a chunk of gammony protest vote?
I never thought I’d say this but well played Rishi.
I'm not seeing the 4D chess myself. Why should he care if Nadine Dorries sods off to the Lords? One less mutinous pro-Boris backbencher. Labour and the LibDems are going to be going tactically all-out for Mid Bedfordshire, and while you'd look at the 2019 majority and think it's likely they'll hold it, that's with a popular (yes,really) and high-profile candidate. Take away Dorries, and things could be a lot closer.
If he loses a by-election in a seat like this, it's a hammer blow.

If the greens and lib dems stand down in that seat it could very well go to labour.
She said "The last thing I want to do is cause a by-election". So that's the last thing she's done.
It was a safe Tory area until the recent local elections where there is no overall control with an independent councillor in charge. Could be an interesting by-election

Speaking minutes after announcing her resignation, Nadine Dorries has said that “something significant” prompted her to change her mind about sparking a byelection but will not reveal what that was.
I wonder what? All sounds very spiteful

she's having a boris baby ,,,😉
Lack of peerage judging by the news alerts on my phone....
considering the quality of this lot and the utter debasement in her unswerving loyalty to the binbag full of custard every time he shit the bed you cant blame her

‘The average IQ of the commons has just had an uplift… ‘ and that’s a quote on a Tory supporting website
also
’ ends her commons career with all the class and intelligence she has demonstrated throughout”
Boris’ hairdresser has an OBE. No, that’s not a joke
Hell hath no fury like a mad Nad scorned, is she going to fly off the handle dishing the dirt on everyone, is Boris doing some serious sweet talking now to make sure he's not in any of the diatribes. Will she use Matt Hancocks ghostwriter?
So she doesn’t get a peerage, after all.
She’s like an abused wife who takes a pasting off Boz again whenever he gets back from the pub, 10 Stella’s in, but never presses charges because ‘he sez ees sorry and ee’ll never go it again’

Now Johnson has thrown the towel in... Are they trying to force a GE?
The truth will out soon – and I too suspect the BoFlo WhatsApp may expose something
Well, I got a prediction right for once.
I bet Bloflo called her ahead of him quitting.
The tinfoil hat theory, given that Johnson has also resigned, is that he’s lining himself up for her much safer seat in the by-election.
Must be the heat, what a day of political news! 😆
Boris doesn't need that for a safe seat. Reigate & Banstead's empty after the ghastly Crispin Blunt decided to stand down at the next election, after the local CA broadly suggested they'd not back him.
Whether they'd be prepared to take the fantasists favourite sexpest honeymonster is another question.
He's played a blinder as far as Nad is concerned "what else could I do luv (or insert pet word for Nad here) but resign, they wouldn't even let my Dad get a gong" etc.. He doesn't give a toss unless its a safe port in a storm, when Carrie finds out he's been banging some blond behind her back.
Does Johnson want the hassle of that tedious public official shit now that he's back on the lucrative money-for-old-rope speaking engagement circuit? He didn't actually seem to enjoy the PM job that much - why would he want to be the world's least trustworthy MP again?
...having said that, it is 100% plausible that Mad Nads would abandon her seat for Johnson.
Being an MP is easy money assuming you dont have any ethical concerns about actually performing your job.
Once you get voted in unless you are really moronic on the bribes you take or the staff members you sexually assault assuming the PM doesnt do something stupid you have five years salary with no performance reviews or risk of sacking.
For the PM role I do think he has a Churchillian complex and so thinks the great return awaits him.
Her resignation is odd unless she is now going to be added to the resignation "honours". Maybe she just wants to help Johnson damage Sunak.
She's complaining that there were 'sinister forces' at work stopping here from a peerage on the front page of today's Mail....
Just seems like someone with a brain realised she prob isn't the best candidate for the house of lords.
My understanding reading between the lines is that Bozza forgot you can't nominate standing MPs and the committee rejected them because they'd not resigned as yet and it is a conflict of interest thats not allowed; a technicality Rishi probably knew about and could have fixed, but chose not to, or said he would fix, but didn't.
What is it £322 for just turning up.
Or £70k a year if you take a month off.
Charlotte was pretty lucky, I can’t think of a better job to get, no wonder Nads is fuming.
They can be nominated but they have to promise to step down within 6 months.
It then gets confusing as to who said what.
Sunak seems to have gone for the "they need to step down".
Johnson seems to think Sunak agreed that they would get approved but just not take it up yet and somehow bypass that rule.
According to Mad Nad this is class war. A cabal of rich, privately educated toffs are trying to prevent an ambitious, honest, salt-of-the-earth working class girl escaping her life working darn't pit and making it to the house of laws
Just wait til she finds out where her best mate Boris went to school
I think Nads should have advised HOLAC her intent to stand down.
She's served her purpose, they don't now want her drunkenly foaming at the mouth, as it were, on the red benches.
So why is the Haunted Victorian Pencil not standing down as a MP?
Hasn't he been put in the HoL?
No, he was knighted.
Sums up Boris and his mates. Outraged because they aren’t being allowed to bend the rules to suit themselves
Not so much bending the rules as snapping them in half, setting fire to them, then putting them out with a shovel
Its a joy to behold seeing them have a massive hissy fit because they can't just do what the hell they like any more. They're like a bunch of toddlers, throwing their toys around
So why is the Haunted Victorian Pencil not standing down as a MP?
I think he wants to be PM.
I think given the track record, the only people that really know what went down are those directly involved.
The rest if us can merely speculate based on whatever they choose to say publicly.
And again given the track record of misdirection and sometimes outright lies, it's arguably not even worth speculating.
She has not stood down yet meaning if she does then the bye election cannot be held on the same day as the other two- and the theory is that this is deliberate to cause more trouble for Sunak as she will formally resign later
Talk on the radio this morning was she's staying so she can dole out dirt on other MPs next week under parliamentary privilege immunity.
No 10 now making noise about mad nad being (deliberately) slow in formally submitting her resignation.
bye election
I like this typo but I’d like to make it a bye bye election 😀
Something tells me that mad nad's quest for the truth isn't going to give her the answers she wants. But I'm glad she's publicising the process for our amusement.
Hmmm……
So she is definitely going to resign.
After her Subject Access Requests are provided and she has time to read them
Well I am glad thats cleared up.

Don't think she'll be getting much back from her SARs relating to discussions around a peerage - she's using the right of access under GDPR except the Data Protection Act 2018 says
So it is a delaying tactic then...I suspect she is going to go radio rental in the Commons and have a huge verbal clear out...and once she has finished with that, she'll chuck her resignation letter in and saunter off thinking she has won.
So it is a delaying tactic then
It would seem to be although not because of that law as thats the sort of attention to detail that isnt to be expected from this rabble.
I hope she doubles down and tries human rights act next.
She barely bothers to turn up at the commons, her TV job more important
It's her hypocrisy that's amazing, even more amazingly shed probably get re-elected if she stood again in her very tory constituency

She accused the prime minister of abandoning "the fundamental principles of Conservatism"
Just because he doesn't necessarily need to line his own pockets doesn't mean he's not helping his mates do the same.
Anyway, she's received close to £100k without uttering a word in parliament. Top Torying, that.
She doesn’t like Sunak much does she?.
Her resignation letter is roughly half bigging herself up and the other half being nasty about him
I wonder if the PM reply will thanks her for all her hard work and effort these past months as tends to be the way of thank you letters from PMs...
According to the Guardian…
In a letter to Rishi Sunak, Dorries accused the prime minister of putting her personal safety at risk by “whipping a public frenzy against her” and disclosed that police had visited her home last week, warning her about a threat to her security
Obviously people disliking her couldn’t have been anything to do with her behaviour? Of course not. It’s all Rishi’s fault apparently
Her resignation letter, 🤣🤣🤣
I knew she was deluded but that's a whole new level. All because she didn't get her peerage for sucking up to/(insert horrible mental image here) Boris Johnson.
When is the by-election then, should be interesting.
I’ve just read her resignation letter in full
Absolutely batshit crazy!!! 😂
Is there anyone from Boris’ government that isn’t either a nutcase or a complete git?
As a few pundits predicted when she didnt hand in the formal notice.
Seems to be intended to put it just before the tory conference.
Possibly also intended to annoy the libdems given their conference week is the 20th September.
Is there anyone from Boris’ government that isn’t either a nutcase or a complete git?
If you count all the junior ministers etc then maybe, just maybe.
I wouldnt be able to name one though and I would want good odds before putting money on it.
She added: "Your actions have left some 200 or more of my MP colleagues to face an electoral tsunami and the loss of their livelihoods, because in your impatience to become prime minister you put your personal ambition above the stability of the country and our economy".
Seems unfair to level that accusation at Sunak - the rot had already set in with Johnson.
Mad nad indeed.
sunak can:
1. reply with the usual bland letter
2. not issue any response
3. challenge and rebut her comments
He is a weak politicuan and PM so...it will be option 1.
The real tragedy with Nadine is what she became. She has a shite life in her early years and despite massive adversity managed to really achieve that mythical chimera that all Tories pretend to subscribe to - social mobility. Her misfortune was to be sucked (!!!) up into the Bojo temporal misinformation field and it destroyed her. She has been roundly abused by the etonian elite but she was never one of them and probably there is a tiny shred of a real person in there right now who is wondering what happened.
If she's wondering what happened - she took a decision which inexorably shredded what reputation she had previously.
She will not be remembered for anything good she did; she will be forever tainted by her association with johnson who was known to be a lying, duplicitous, selfish, egotistical liar well before she hitched her horse to his wagon
Just because he doesn’t necessarily need to line his own pockets doesn’t mean he’s not helping his mates do the same.
I reckon it is probably fair to claim that if Sunak is helping his wife to increase her vast wealth he is also lining his own pocket. Although admittedly he doesn't actually need to.
Rishi Sunak faces a new conflict of interest row before a G20 summit in New Delhi next month over claims that his family could stand to benefit financially from a post-Brexit trade deal that he is negotiating with India.
The latest controversy comes after the prime minister was reprimanded last week by parliament’s standard’s watchdog for failing to properly declare his wife’s separate shareholding in a childcare company that stood to benefit from new government policy.
