Nadine Dorries called to scrap the Online Safety Act she introduced, and got owned into next year – 15 cutting clapbacks
Nadine Dorries is one of the many high-profile Tories who have jumped ship to Reform UK, having seen the writing on the wall – that writing presumably saying ‘Tories are losers’.
We’re not sure how her defection has affected her dedication to Boris Johnson, but she’s just shown everyone that she learnt a thing or two from him.
In a nod to his scathing remarks about the Northern Ireland Protocol he had negotiated, Ms Dorries has called for the Online Safety Act, which came from her Online Safety Bill, to be scrapped.
It’s a far cry from the time she rapped in favour of it. Yes…she rapped.
Good morning, here's Nadine Dorries rapping on TikTok in support of the Online Harms Act, which she now wants to abolish because it censored her new party, Reform UK. pic.twitter.com/vuJvZIc4PR

She has now written a Daily Mail column (more Boris mimicry) in which she explained why she wants to repeal the act. It’s essentially because Zia Yusuf’s anti-immigration post was labelled ‘hate speech’ on TikTok, in case you were wondering.

Tweeters took the baton and ran with it.

Yet more proof that Reform UK are just Tories.
Campaigning against policies/laws they themselves either implemented or failed to remove is exactly what the Conservatives did for years.

There’s a reason why you had the reputation of being the stupidest MP in the Commons; of in doubt that Community Note perfectly illustrates why.

Another politician realises that their own laws apply to everyone, not just the filthy commoners.

Why was this idiot ever close to power?
And why does the Daily Fail constantly employ washed-out Tory-boomers?
