15 spectacular takedowns of Nadine Dorries for trying to gaslight the PM’s critics
As you’ll know by now, allegations have been made to ITV News that two birthday celebrations, against Covid rules at that time, were held in Downing Street for the PM’s birthday in 2020.
I’m old enough to remember when Boris Johnson said there were no parties whatsoever in Downing Street
