Debunking Dorries

Time for another episode of ‘Debunking Dorries’ in which your genial host – me – takes a look at some the claims made by Nadine Dorries in support of her campaign for greater restrictions on access to legal abortion… …and then takes them apart. And for your delight […]

Dorries and the ‘abortion industry’

As a bit of a coda to my last piece on Nadine Dorries’ mendacious conduct, it is worth noting with due reference to her habitual and tendentious practice of referring to ‘the abortion industry’ that prior to entering Parliament she was, for around a year, a director of […]

1 down. Nine letters, begins with H. Clue: Nadine Dorries.

I’ve taken on and roundly picked apart the banal, uneducated and irrational maunderings of Nadine ‘Mad Nad’ Dorries on the subject of abortion on a couple of previous occasions, so I expect it will come as no great surprise to find that with the Commons’ Science and Technology […]

Desperation has clearly set in at the offices of the Amalgamated Union of Bigots, Godbotherers and Allied Dinosaurs, AKA the Coalition for Marriage, which has commissioned no less than seven separate opinion polls for publication this week in the hope of wrapping the issue of same-sex marriage in […]

Never forget, Nadine Lies.

I’ll keep this one short and sweet. Nadine Dorries. Self-authored, self-serving pile of bullshit at Comment is Free. Same old selective memory. In my seven and a half years as an MP I think it is important to state that I have never taken a single day away […]

Et Tu Soubry

You can always rely on ConHome to offer Nadine Dorries a platform from which to exercise her butthurt. Nadine Dorries MP: Anna Soubry MP has failed vulnerable women by dropping consultation on independent abortion counselling Despite being called every name under the sun and having my motives questioned […]
