Goodness me, good grief, core, blind me, etc. That's quite enough. But Nadine Doris, what's an

0:07.6

absolutely joke here? It's now over 10 weeks, 75 days to be exact, since the Nadine Doris said,

0:12.9

and I quote, that she was resigning as an MP with immediate effect. I think we can all agree

0:18.3

that 75 days is not immediate effect. Now she hasn't spoken in the House of Commons now in well

0:23.1

over a year. She's voted six times this year in the chamber. Oh, congratulations. Not quite as

0:29.3

impressive when you discover that five of those times were actually on the same day. And yet

0:33.8

she refuses to resign and allow a by-election. Until she finds out, this is real high-principle stuff,

0:40.1

why shouldn't it appear as in Boris Johnson's resignation on us, leaving her constituents in

0:45.6

midbedfature essentially without a member of Parliament? Now we talked about this on Good Morning

0:51.4

Britain today. Where's Nadine? Have you seen her? Because there she's there's Nadine. There she is

0:57.8

know she's having a massive party. She didn't get a period. She's well annoyed with Richie Sonak,

1:11.6

and James Forsyth, who works for Richie Sonak. She went on TV and started having a big tantrum

1:17.9

about all of that. But the fact she's basically on a revenge mission to try and humiliate Richie Sonak

1:24.8

because she didn't get the gongs that she wanted, because she thinks she deserves it.

1:29.4

It's a consequence of friendship. They're people of midbedfature. They get

1:33.0

loads of adhesion. If you're watching from there this morning. They're

1:36.8

speculated she may actually resign in the run-up to the Conservative Party conference to cause

1:41.2

maximum damage to the Conservatives, which is strange when she's a Conservative MP. But when

1:46.8

MPs fall out with their own side, they all fall out much more spectacular than they do with the

1:50.9

other. So look, on the one hand, it is easy to treat this as a bit of a joke. This is exceptionally

1:57.3

messy behaviour from Nadine Norris, and I am a messy so-and-so who lives from the drama.
