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.

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'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

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’

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.

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.
