How do you solve a problem like Nadine Dorries? If you’re the Prime Minister, by throwing her under a bus live on LBC, writes HenryRiley1
It’s no secret that the MP for Mid-Bedfordshire has a chequered history with Mr Sunak. She has previously labelled him a “privileged posh boy” and “one of our biggest losers”. But today saw The Empire Strike Back as Star Wars fan Sunak laid into his absent arch-rival.
Rishi Sunak told LBC “I think people deserve to have an MP who represents them wherever they are… Engaging with you, representing you, speaking in Parliament, being present in their constituencies… that’s the job of an MP and all MPs should be held to that standard”. But why leave it there? It was clear that the subject animated the Prime Minister and he had more to say. Nick Ferrari pushed him as to whether Dorries was “failing” which gave the PM the perfect opportunity to deliver the killer blow... “at the moment people aren’t being properly represented”. An unprecedented remark about one of his own MPs.
The PM is now playing a waiting game, praying that Nadine Dorries stands down. The longer she drags her heels, the more pressure on Rishi Sunak - who will be left with an uncomfortable decision to remove the whip from the former Cabinet Minister.allies view themselves as akin to NATO member states. When you attack one, the rest of the pack intervenes. Sunak’s remarks today will be seen squarely as yet another attack on the former Prime Minister.
In seeking to make a cheap shot against undoubtedly a troublemaker, the Prime Minister may well have caused the Conservative Party, and himself, yet another headache.
