Nadine Dorries smelt a Partygate inquiry rat among her fellow Tory MPs – only 13 responses you need

Every new chapter in the Nadine Dorries story gets harder to script, and this latest one is surely the most out there yet.

The former culture secretary and (at the time of writing) Boris Johnson cheerleader in chief has already begun her own investigation into why she didn’t get the peerage she had been promised by Boris Johnson.

And if that hadn’t spawned enough ridicule already – read all our favourite reactions here – she now wants an inquiry into the parliamentary inquiry into the former PM which reported its devastating findings on Thursday.

Although the parliamentary standards committed was chaired by a Labour MP, Harriet Harman, it had a majority of Conservative MPs and Dorries wants to see them all in the headmaster’s office first thing tomorrow.

And it prompted no end of responses, as you might imagine, and here are our favourites.
