Nadine Dorries got slammed over her half-baked excuse for the PM’s partygate fine

Despite so far having received a fixed penalty notice for just one breach of Covid laws – for a gathering on his birthday in 2020 – Boris Johnson is expected to hit the jackpot with several more.

A poll has revealed that most people believe the PM should resign over the scandal, and the discussion around it doesn’t seem to be dying down, despite the distraction of the government’s much-criticised Rwandan refugee deal.

The usual suspects have been rolled out to news studios to defend Johnson, but one MP who doesn’t need to clutch the short straw of doom to speak up on his behalf was running true to form when she posted this to Twitter

The comment went down like most of Ms Dorries’ hot takes – like a National Insurance rise during a cost of living crisis.
