1. Nadine Dorries is exceptionally vile

When my MP Evan Harris was narrowly defeated in 2010, at least partly as a result of a religious-right 'pro-life' smear campaign, she was very likely involved in it and certainly gloated viciously over it.

I hold grudges over things like that. I don't need Palinism in my own fucking backyard.

She was also incredibly vicious in her attacks on a disabled constituent, who had dared to criticize her, suggesting that she couldn't be genuinely disabled if she could tweet so much.

I hold grudges over things like that too.

Do my eyes and ears deceive me, or has Mad Nad resigned her seat? (That's what she said about Evan Harris' defeat, calling him 'Dr. Death'. As I said, I hold grudges.)

My only worry is that she might now get a gig on GB News or in one of the RW tabloids.
