Nadine Dorries bailing out of the Tories for Reform is hypocrisy with a side order of gall. She’s not even an MP anymore – she quit in 2023 with a strop – but here she is, puffing up in the Daily Mail to declare the Conservatives “dead.” What she won’t admit is that she helped kill them. Years of sycophancy to Boris Johnson, cheerleading his lies and lowering of standards, all fed into the rot that finished them off.
Now she’s rebranded herself as a prophet of doom and hitched her wagon to Nigel Farage. The irony? Reform loathe her one so-called legacy, the Online Safety Bill. That was her crusade – remember all the talk of “protecting children”? She’s happily ditched it to join a party that wants it in the bin. Some “core beliefs.”
Her spiel about migrant hotels and rising shoplifting is laughable. She was in government for over a decade while asylum backlogs exploded and crime rose. She said nothing then. But now, from the comfort of her Mail column, it’s suddenly the end of civilisation.
She insists she hasn’t changed – the party has. Rubbish. Her only principle is clinging to Boris and chasing headlines. Reform think they’ve bagged a heavyweight. What they’ve really got is a political weather vane, spinning round on the gusts of her own bitterness.
And here’s the delicious thought: she helped kill off the Conservatives. If we’re lucky, she’ll do the same for Reform. That conference in Birmingham isn’t a political movement – it’s a retirement wing for bitter Tory exiles, moaning about migrants and waiting for Nigel to ladle out the next batch of snake oil.
