Exclusive: Dorries to Face Standards Inquiry

The latest febrile rantings of the MP for Mid-Narnia make for rather interesting, if slightly bizarre, reading: The frenzied attack against Conservative MPs and MEPs, orchestrated by and emanating from the left wing BBC and press has equalled that of an animal in its death throes. The more […]

Spelman’s Nanny State

I doubt very much that Dizzy’s commentary on Caroline Spelman’s state-funded nanny situation will be making the ‘Daley Dozen’ today or any day soon, after all Dizzy has taken the eminently sensible view that its never a good idea for a blogger to be drawn into defending the […]

The worst leaked document in history

I’m in a good mood this afternoon… so good, in fact, that I’m going to save Iain Dale a job and embarrass a political journalist Sam Coates (he of The Times and not the one who writes for Tory Home) has a ‘leaked’ Tory strategy document of which […]

Push-polls and Co-payments

Having given a little thought, there are a couple of things I want to pick up on from yesterday’s article on the NHS’s co-payments policy. The first comes by way of a little bit more research into the Doctors for Reform campaign group, research that yielded up the […]

Mayor of Simpleton

If you wondering whether the radio silence over the weekend means I’ll be letting the MP for Mid-Narnia off the hook for trying to pull a Mourinho over the failure of her 20 weeks campaign and blame everything and everyone but her own abysmal antics then fear not, […]

Fallout Boy #2 – The Mad Nad Special

Yes, its time for part two of my own look at the abortion debate as it played out in parliament, and time to get around to the ‘contribution’ of Nadine Dorries. As our starting point we’ll take what Dave Cole has suggested will become the leitmotif for the […]

How to blow a ‘breakthrough’

Well, today’s the day that Dizzy joins the mainstream according to Iain Dale: Eleven days ago I asked a question about Phil Hendren, aka Dizzy Thinks. I said “Why hasn’t a newspaper signed him up yet?” Less than a fortnight later, Phil makes his debut in The Times […]
