This is the only thing I'm posting about Dorries today.

Nadine Dorries must be the last person in the world hasn't figured out that Boris Johnson is a self-serving liar. From The Times live blog:
"Boris Johnson was informed that Nadine Dorries’s peerage had been rejected as far back as February, senior government sources have said, contradicting claims that the former prime minister was unaware his nominations had been blocked until recently."

Nadine Dorries, 2018: "I for one will be lobbying for a bill to massively reduce the size of the Lords"
Nadine Dorries, 2023: "The sinister forces that stopped me, a girl born into poverty, from reaching the Lords"

As she's flapping her gob at every pundit and "journalist" who'll give her air time today, whining about how she's been swindled out of a seat in the Lords that she had dibs on because Johnson pinky-promised her, it seems a good moment to examine the voting record of Nadine Dorries, self-styled working class heroine:

Confirmation!

#Michaelhoward has just gone on the record to defend both #HOLAC and #RishiSunak on all of this.

@HelenG

Being at heart a kindly soul I have to wonder where this leaves the people who set up the "Conservative Democratic Organisation" - particularly #petercruddas - a donor whose peerage was opposed by #HOLAC but who was nonetheless appointed by #BorisJohnson. What do they do now?
