Nadine Dorries’ schoolboy Nadhim Zawahi error totally nailed her eye for detail
Nadine Dorries took time out from waiting for a call from Boris Johnson to send her congratulations to Nadhim Zahawi, newly-appointed chancellor (but only after he reportedly threatened to resign if he didn’t get it).
And Dorries’ first attempt at bigging up her Cabinet colleague showed just the forensic eye for detail and grasp of the facts that we’ve come to expect from the culture secretary.
See if you can spot the schoolboy error.
In fairness to Dorries, she’s spent much of the last week studying the differences between rugby union and rugby league, so she was probably knackered.
So she had another go, but it really wasn’t much better.
And then did it again. With the same caption, but now featuring two (duplicate) pics of the actual health secretary! pic.twitter.com/mc7xNMiAH3

She got there eventually, though.
He arrived in the U.K. as a refugee who couldn’t speak English. He achieved and delivered in vaccines 💉 and education and will do the same for the economy.
Congratulations my friend! https://t.co/lmTWbmqRRV

Nadine Dorries occupies the precise intellectual space where you are stupid enough to tweet this monumental takedown of your own policies, but just about bright enough to employ somebody to tell you to delete it. pic.twitter.com/YXeJlNA3HD

Nadine Dorries seems to think Nadhim Zahawi has been made Minister for Health despite the caption very clearly stating Chancellor pic.twitter.com/ZWlo2Xu8Tt

This tweet is a fucking mess…everything about it from the "refugee sew cuuuute" angle when she was cheering for a plane with refugees on it to go to Rwanda to the FACT SHE GOT HIS FUCKING JOB WRONG. It's made me so angry like when my cat knocks over a glass of water. pic.twitter.com/wT6bqeal9n

And also this.
A reminder that 57% of the people who were due to be deported by the government on the first flight to Rwanda were also Kurdish refugees. pic.twitter.com/hH42D565GD
