Nadine Dorries told Liz Truss to call an election and Sooz Kempner’s take was simply perfect
Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries – or ‘recovering secretary of state’ as she styles herself on Twitter – has called on Liz Truss to call a general election.
Dorries, back on Twitter after deleting her account just last month (Tory in U-turn shock), backed Truss in the Tory leadership contest but has already seen enough after just a few weeks of her premiership.
Nothing to do with the Budget calamity, it should be said, but because Truss appears not to be pursuing Dorries’ pet projects such as privatising Channel 4.
Widespread dismay at the fact that 3 years of work has effectively been put on hold. No one asked for this.
C4 sale, online safety, BBC licence feee review – all signed off by cabinet all ready to go, all stopped. If Liz wants a whole new mandate, she must take to the country. https://t.co/xKtcnZyVYi— Nadine Dorries (@NadineDorries) October 3, 2022
And while it prompted lots of responses like this …
No one asked for those things in 2019 either

… surely the best response went to comedian Sooz Kempner, whose takes on Dorries always win our vote.

Insider info. May even be Nadine Dorries pretending to be Sooz pretending to be Nadine Dorries.

The best thing to come out of Dorries return to Twitter. Brilliant as always.

It's the "read by Bobby George" that finally cracked me up.
