Like all the other posters here I haven’t read the book. However, Mrs U is halfway through it. She says it is well-written (and Mrs U should know, as an English teacher), although a bit novelistic in style.
I’ve always found Tanya Gold’s pieces rather snide and this is no exception. Could she be jealous that Nad’s has sold far more books than she has?
Whatever. Although Boris made it easy for them, it’s undeniable there was a slow-running coup against him. He was not the choice of the majority of the parliamentary party (as with Truss) and they got him in the end (as with Truss, who could have survived the mini-budget had her MPs wanted her to). The first Partygate photo of him with Carrie and Cummings on the No 10 terrace was taken from No 11. The Ready4Rishi web domain was registered many months before there was any sniff of a leadership election. It’s just a coincidence that the reporter who seemed to get almost all of the long, steady trickle of Partygate leaks, ITV’s Paul Brand, is married to a senior civil servant in the Cabinet Office.
After yesterday’s Today appearance, Nick Robinson had to admit that his story about the gold wallpaper in No 11 had come from Jeremy Hunt … but there never was any gold wallpaper in No 11. Rt Hon Nadine Dorries on X:
Is Rishi enjoying life I wonder? I’m surprised he hasn’t already called an election so he can swan off to California with Akshata and resume his normal life. The Tory Party is currently ungovernable and Rishi has shown no sign he’s capable of governing the country either.

Nadine has cashed in on the feeling amongst UK conservatives (or ‘real Tories’) that:
-there is a uniparty in the UK parliament that wants state borrowing, taxation and spending to align with European requirements to join the euro
-a liberal social orthodoxy reigns in the Conservative Party as much as in the civil service, the law, media and education sector
-the British constitution is woefully inadequate to cope with governance nowadays, the recent patterns of Tory national leadership being a case in point.
The Uniparty bit may be largely true – this is about as un-conservative a bunch of pretend Conservatives as we’ve ever had – but Dorres the Dimwit is an unlikely champion.
After all she supported Fataturk, king of the fake Tories, who was in office for three years and had almost nothing conservative to show for it.
Instead, he gave us a shed-load of lefty nonsense, including bucketloads of green cr*p, record taxes, record immigration, the war on the motorist, etc etc – oh and having ‘won’ Brexit by lying that he had ‘fixed’ the issues with Northern Ireland, which he hadn’t of course, he did his best to do precisely nothing with it, disappointing all of us wh voted for it.
Dorres is a symptom of the very malaise she moans about – ineffectual, flouncy, talentless, all mouth and no trousers.
Cashed in on ‘woe is me’, ‘we’re not to blame for making such a hash of things’, ‘there must be someone we can find to blame-ism’ – total ‘snowflake’ stuff in any other contact.
The ‘Born to Rules’…’Born to Whinge’ more like.
What? Delusional. And the requirements to join the Euro are quite conservative. They’re just very weakly enforced. No idea what this means. Britain is a liberal country. We have a good claim to have invented it.Yes but the rest of what you’re saying makes me worried about what your solution would be. An illiberal constitution? A conservative constitution? Constitutions are usually designed to impose a liberal orthodoxy!

Interesting that the writer fails to mention that there clearly was a campaign to remove Boris Johnson with the Partygate allegations carefully prepared for drip-feed release over many months. Who leaked the photos and stories? This was followed by the coordinated resignations of Government Ministers after the leadership confidence vote failed to remove him. Like every storyteller Dorries has exaggerated reality, but built upon a firm foundation. Did Johnson really believe the hairdryer up the nose theory or did Cummings give a vague enough version for the media to leap on and exaggerate in turn? There are many storytellers in today’s media.
It is all turning out so well for those who removed him!

A typically snide and sneery article from TG. Project Squash is well underway. I have read the book and it presents evidence of very serious consequences political crimes which are worthy of serious investigation rather than dismissal. Unherd’s position as an independent auditor of our society is in doubt.

She’s obviously ‘got the hump’ to use a technical term, because the multi talented CHARLOTTE OWEN squeezed in to the House of Lords and she didn’t.
What a mockery of the self-styled ‘ mother of Parliaments’.
I wonder what her talents were. Did it involve knee-pads?

Dorres was fine as the comedy turn but the mistake was giving her a proper job and expecting anything to come of it. This also gave her notions of grandeur, which are what did for her in the end. All in all, a bit pathetic.

How on earth did she get selected for her parliamentary seat in the first place?
Well, that’s the appealingly simple explanation but usually local associations are not bad at choosing good candidates. It would be genuinely interesting to know what went wrong here; it was some 20 years ago of course, so she has probably “changed”.
Bwa, bwa, bwa. Government really ought to be left to the people who know best, doncha know, auld chep?

She’s pitiful. As was the apple of her eye, Bojo. They deserve one another.
But what she knows is some fools will lap up the conspiratorial nonsense. Ker-ching!
The alt-right nuts who frequent the comments pages of The Spectator website will certainly be lapping it up…

She loves him for what he does for her, not for who he is, without him she is irrelevant, thus she is nothing, everything she had came from him. She has no identity as a result. It’s all about psychological projection, Typical narcissistic behavior. Modern politicians and activists build their identities around causes, organizations and movements because they themselves have no sense of self-esteem or identity. Without those things their life becomes unbearable and too painful to exist.

I massively admire Nad in a “joan of arc” sense but talk about taking a knife to a gun fight. She kept schtum when Bedford’s Muslims waved ” Go Nad!” banners oblivious to the Anglo meaning or the garry bushell link (Thanks Nadine, we love the Scouse sense of humor). Sure the UK civil service and public school nepo clowns need laid low, but reason and thoughtfulness are not the correct process for this. The IDF are showing the way and Nad & Co are a side show.The solution to a criminal state is either a Military one or mere anarchy. Looking at the current crop of Labor/Hamas/Trans /Queer nut jobs i think we (net UK taxpayers) don’t need to worry. These gilipollas have a very tiny blue line of overpaid over weight pigs as their muscle. They can hurt the young/old/frail but not those of us of fighting age. By my local estimates in the wealthy South these “pork product meatball” cops are outgunned by a massive margin: Slamfire 12 & 20 bores from the London postcode traphouses, printed .45s and M14s, for the more successful gangs and Valtions and KovRovs for the wealthy. Big joke here is the cops claimed they killed Mark Duggan because he was a ” Columbian Drug Dealer” or on the way to murder the same lol. These cowards need to pray to their heathen gods that they steer from humanity’s instincts and i can understand why they pick on the weak to assuage their guilt. Each of them should be forced to read Arendts’ “Eichmann in Jeruslem” before the trapdoor opens.
Yeh unturd.. guilt corrected as “gilt” – says all you want to know. Hussain.

The real Plot is that the people who did not want Johnson to ever return to power thought the best way to achieve this was to encourage Mad Nad to write this book. They have succeeded. With friends like these he doesn’t need enemies to undermine him.

Worse than Cummings?
Cummings has a brain. No evidence of that with Dorries
Therefore ‘we’ must NOT mock the afflicted.
Interesting question (which I just happened to be pondering myself). I almost see a similarity between them – is that perverse?
No.
