Starmer would never be so daft as to do that. She’s a Bozo cultist and bonkers as well.
A rumour might have been spread from MP to SPAD to cleaner to Commons tea room waiter hopefully encouraging her to misbehave, that’s politics after all. But Starmer involved? Never.

Absolute nonsense - is there no lower level of shameToris can go to - Only this weekend we’ve had;
1. Let’s have tax cuts for the rich
2. No HS2, let’s watch the new 9 year Avanti train deal cut the trains and services on the West Coast Line (openly announced) &
3. Nadine Dorries - this article
You know the really shameful act is that this lot who have literally made everyone considerably poorer are so proud of it they are all resigning before being publicly ousted - they should face the music

Apparently, there is a strong rumour that Jeremy Hunt will stand down as Chancellor and not contest the next GE.
Why? Because his current seat has been abolished and split in two and the constituency that has adopted him has a Tory majority of only about 5000. So Hunt does not want to be remembered as the Tory with the next “Portillo spectacular” in the GE.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Were Johnson still an MP, he'd be feeling very vulnerable in his Uxbridge constituency, purely because of the majority he had.
As Kevin Keegan would say, I'd love it for a few Tory sleazeballs to get humiliated.
I still remember the Portillo moment. Strangely I now think he's rehabilitated himself, and I love his TV series.
I was talking to an old colleague who's mad on railways, and Portillo is an absolute hero to enthusiasts because he personally intervened and saved the Settle to Carlisle line, and of course the Ribblehead viaduct.
He's definitely up there with Rory Stewart as my favourite Tory ex MP.

its about time that the house of lords was put to bed and replaced with a 200-300 member PR elected second house.

and what about the house of commons, should also be put to bed. under 45% turnout and you become a MP maybe PM.

Sorry Ollygon, I am not very good at seeing jokes.
I too like Michael Portillo for all the reasons you gave. He was a fairly unpleasant Tory MP but he is now very likeable and his train journey series are quality TV.
It’s quite amazing how many journeys he has done. He must spend half the year on tour. Nice work if you can get it.
I particularly enjoyed the one on Spain where he explained how his father had fled from Franco’s fascists in the Civil War, and how Spain was recovering over the decades since 1975 but that there were still tensions between left and right.

What’s your suggested alternative then? Nothing?
Jaun Carlos and his entourage were distictintly corrupt and dodgy as well in Spain.
No chance Dorries will get an honour from Labour

certainly needs to be reformed, MP's don't really represent their constituents anymore, in most cases the constituents are the party and party donors.
Also how do you get from me suggesting that the house of lords should be abolished and replaced with a PR elected second house to me being PM if there is not a majority.

Best keep it as it is then, its not broke and everybody is happy with the big two winning. More people read my posts than vote at local/bye/general elections.

I stayed up long enough to see Portaloo lose his seat. Where is Stephen Twigg these days?

Some discussion about why she might arise but consensus as to why she was on her knees.

She's too busy pursuing conspiracy theories at the moment. As Quasimodo nearly said, "the dials, the dials".
