Politics Nadine Dorries Question Time Reform UK
Nadine Dorries was keen to big up her new best friends on Reform UK only to have her bubble burst in spectacular style
It’s not long ago that Liz Truss was a Conservative MP and Secretary of State for culture, of all things, and Boris Johnson’s undisputed number one fan.
But she’s moved on from all of that now after seeing the light and, er, getting into bed with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
So naturally she was keen to big up her new party when she was invited onto BBC1’s Question Time on Thursday night, only to have her bubble burst in spectacular style.

Ooof.
That’s Labour MP and defence secretary Luke Pollard, just in case you were wondering. And just a few of the comments the exchange prompted …
1.
She isnt even an MP anymore. Why is she being given airtime?

Dorries was the Culture Secretary who got humiliated because she didn't understand her brief & went on strike for a year after her crush resigned as PM. Took the salary & did sweet FA. Tell us again why we should listen to her advice. Seriously, they think we have amnesia. #bbcqt

Reform is out of their depth, they are scraping the bottom of the pot

Dear BBC Question Time.
Nadine Dorries Columnist and Author. Should it not read Reform UK. This piss poor attempt to try and circumvent the fact that you have yet another Reform Party representative on the show is laughable. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/OHytVTuUDp— Alethea Bernard (@Tush27J) February 12, 2026

Are we sure she didn’t go because she thinks Farage might give her a peerage after her ex didn’t.
