Straight away when I saw this item yesterday on the non stop news, I wondered what our own star blogger BarryW would make of it...as clearly she is one of Barry's heroic figures as he mentioned previously several times.
But here she was larger than life yesterday, with odd looking cleavage it must be said, sticking the proverbial boot in. Not to the opposition ..no...but to her own Conservative Prime Minister and Chancellor. Nor was it an attack on policy but it was a personal attack of the nastyish order. Not a slip of the tongue but a prepared statement.
In case anyone doesnt know what Nadine Dorries looks like here she is...
I couldnt get a pic of her with mouth closed alas...
What motivation could she have, as clearly it was the cheapest of cheap shots...the only answer has to be publicity. Sadly she seems to be someone who needs a huge shot of publicity and needs it very often. But it does nothing to enhance an individual's reputation as an MP this kind of thing.
A few more outbursts like that and Labour will offer her a lifetime membership and waive all fees.
