Politics channel 4 Emily maitlis Nadine Dorries
The look on Emily Maitlis’s face having to listen to Nadine Dorries surely spoke for the nation
We’re big fans of Emily Maitlis and much as we enjoy her podcast we do wish she was still doing her magnificent thing over on Newsnight.
But she was back on the box last night as part of Channel 4’s election night coverage alongside Krishnan Guru-Murthy with guest panellists including … Nadine Dorries.
And it’s fair to say not everyone was impressed.
Kwazi fucking Kwarteng on any public forum is bad enough, but double dipped with Nadine fucking Dorries????Channel 4 are seriously ruining my election high #C4BritainDecides

And when we say ‘not everyone’ we can perhaps include Maitlis herself who, while always the consummate pro, obviously, perhaps wasn’t having her best time dealing with the former Conservative MP and Boris Johnson’s number one fan.
And the look on her face here surely spoke for the nation.

Wins our vote.
After her latest IQ-sapping exchange with Nadine Dorries, Emily Maitlis asks herself if it’s time to go for a cigarette BUT SHE DOESN’T EVEN SMOKE. https://t.co/EzyOTgv6CF

Emily Maitlis is absolutely superb. I really don’t understand why they invited Dorries though. Perhaps it was just for the comedy value?

Initially I thought it was madness from Channel 4, but increasingly I’m seeing the genius! It’s late at night with a lot of time to fill, we need some studio drama! 😉
