We learned that Nadine Doris is finally quit as an MP, but she ignored the rules of resignation

Friday. I'm quite crossed with myself. So you should be. We also learned her book has

been delayed, but maybe she would have got it finished by now if she hadn't spent so

long writing a resignation letter. You know, that letter was 1800 words longer. It could
