You’d have thought there was at least one Conservative MP who would still be prepared to defend Boris Johnson. The second world war Japanese soldier on a Pacific Island who was still refusing to surrender in the 1970s. Someone – other than Nadine Dorries – who was prepared to die on the hill of whether an over-promoted former culture secretary should be given a peerage.
And all Nadine can do is howl at the injustice in the Daily Mail. She can’t bring herself to resign, yet she refuses to come to the House of Commons. Hoping merely to make life a tiny bit difficult for Rishi Sunak by not allowing him to have all three byelections on the same day. Hardly a dirty protest.
