Nadine Dorries let her snarl loose on BBC and the memes were quite special – 19+ of the best
Nadine Dorries spent Monday evening defending the prime minister from accusations of wrongdoing, with scant regard for facts.
She told Channel 4 that Boris Johnson tells the truth, although she didn’t say how often. During her Sky News interview, she refused to accept that quotes from the Sue Gray report came from the report. She also came out with an absolute beaut in her BBC interview.
PM Boris Johnson has "given his apology," and "we'll wait to see" what the Met Police's findings are, says Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries
"He's going to implement the recommendations [of the Sue Gray report]… because that is leadership"https://t.co/2LcMpn0V61 pic.twitter.com/TzT9Wx4V9x

“Is that your assessment, that the people who are criticising the prime minister this afternoon are people who’ve never liked him?”
“So, the people who are criticising him …are the people were criticising him before he was elected leader of the party, who were criticising him as he was elected prime minister of the party, and has [sic] been criticising him ever since. So the answer to your question is yes.”
Byline Times’ Adam Bienkov paraphrased.

Her odd take wasn’t the most effective defence.
And why have they never liked him? Come on @NadineDorries, nearly there, you can do this. https://t.co/bYiCwrOfjm

Nadine Dorries is defending Boris Johnson with the vim and vigour of a woman who knows any other Prime Minister wouldn't have her within 200 miles of the Cabinet. https://t.co/ob1F21ByVP

What’s more likely?
1. People say Johnson is a liar because they don’t like him, or
2. People don’t like him because he’s a liar. https://t.co/o5qyXFGBQV— Dan Rebellato (@DanRebellato) January 31, 2022
The image also really grabbed people’s attention.
This is a fantastic photo. It shows her true colours. That is a proper snarl.
It would be a shame if it were to be retweeted.@NadineDorries looks so good here. Lol. pic.twitter.com/A02BgjnCxk— Steve Friswell (@stevefriswell) January 31, 2022
Pretty soon, it had become a meme.

"Left wing snowflakes are killing comedy, tearing down historic statues, removing books from universities, dumbing down panto, removing Christ from Christmas and suppressing free speech. Sadly, it must be true, history does repeat itself. It will be music next." pic.twitter.com/RJVk9thNQV
