14 glorious times Nadine Dorries owned herself into next week

8. When she demonstrated her impeccable national security creditentials

9. When she went into bat for Boris Johnson and ended up clean bowled

Tories spent weeks saying they believed Cummings when he said he strapped his kid in the back of his car to conduct an eye exam by flooring it down the A2. Called him truthful and a good father. Screamed for him to remain in post, and now they name him as a discredible source?? https://t.co/IAe0mcX0m1

10. When she said David Davis was ‘trained to survive’ (he didn’t)

“I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could. I’d make poison darts out of the poison of the deadly frogs. One milligram of that poison can kill a monkey. Or a man. Prick yourself and you’d be dead within a day. Or longer. Different frogs, different times.” pic.twitter.com/CSMpfFPCuM

11. When she said only a crystal ball could have predicted the second lockdown

You didn’t need a bloody crystal ball, you needed to act on the advice your own SAGE committee gave you to lockdown weeks ago. https://t.co/U99BqZsHko

12. When she said there’s no such thing as herd immunity

Nadine, actual doctor here 👋
Measles needs to have a vaccination uptake of 93% or greater for the possibility of herd immunity to kick in, and we’ve never been close.

Also, fun fact: measles vaccinations have saved over 21 million lives worldwide in the last 20 years.

13. When she tweeted this

14. And finally, when she said this on ‘Clap for Boris’ night …

… and it prompted people to share their ‘Nadine stories’

#NadineStories I heard a noise outside. The clock struck thirteen. There was an out-pouring of love for Big Boris who was not on a ventilator because he is a fighter. We are at war with Covid-19. We have always been at war with Covid-19.
