Michael Spicer was in the Room Next Door to Nadine Dorries’ excruciating post-resignation interview
Until this morning, Nadine Dorries was still the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, against the wishes of her constituents and more than eleven weeks after resigning ‘with immediate effect’.
At the weekend, she wrote to the PM, tendering her resignation – although she did it via an open letter (behind a paywall) on the Mail.
As well as publishing her letter, the Mail conducted an interview in which she aired her grievances in a measured, eloquent and professional manner. LOL, just kidding – she was an absolute shambles and practically invited Michael Spicer to work his magic.
“As resignation letters go it’s not the classiest. I’ve seen insults written on toilet doors at UKIP conferences that show more tact.”
When Michael posted the sketch on Twitter, it got a lot of well-deserved love.

The commentary this needed – brilliant!
And 'Almost, Not Only' is a political memoir title waiting to happen (with bonus headache pills included, naturally…)🫣

Nadine Dorries’ own words… principles of the Conservative Party, ‘…corruption of democracy…’ no, ‘ democratic corruption at the heart of the Con Party…’!
This woman!😂
But all is well…we still have ‘opportunity & a hand down to people!’
Thank goodness for small mercies! https://t.co/SFR3c7uE2E

We can’t argue with this.
