Do you think it's okay for @BBCNews and @SkyNews to legitimise right wing terrorism by calling it 'pro-british' 'anti-immigration protests' and criticising 'both sides'? Type 'Yes' or 'No' 👇

So, a MAGA just accused me of having “fake” followers and allies. Let’s prove this guy wrong. Where are my REAL living allies, friends and supporters at?

Rt Hon Nadine Dorries@NadineDorries·
Dearest readers of Westminster and beyond… Let me tell you today a few facts that you may not know about Keir Starmer’s right hand woman, Sue Gray and a little favour she asked for during the party gate inquiry and how that changed everything. I will post the second part to this letter this evening as there is so much more to write…who escaped Gray’s ire and why and to come over following tweets…The story of the MP who ran gay sex orgies for straight MPs and journos. I have all the names, really, your constituents expected better of you in Westminster. The MP with the secret landline, who called it and why. I do this in an effort to ensure my party cleans up its act in future if it ever wants to govern again. Sue Gray is a close ally of Gove and it was Gove and those allies in No10 who insisted that it should be Gray who wrote the party gate report. The same people who are today running Badenoch’s campaign. Of course, Gray always denied that she had a secret agenda to topple the Prime Minister (Johnson) but the circumstantial evidence to the contrary is now overwhelming. First, she lulled him into a false sense of security – just as she told all witnesses who contributed to the Gray report untruthfully, as it turned out, that they would not face any penalty as a result of what they said or the information they gave her. Time after time, she came in to see Boris to inform him about the progress of her inquiry. She repeatedly told him that she did not think there was anything to justify police involvement. She stressed that she had found absolutely no evidence or heard any testimony that suggested Boris knew about any rule-breaking. She gave the firm impression, in fact, that she thought it was all a fuss about nothing. However, on their second meeting she said suddenly: ‘Once this is all over, I hope you will make me Permanent Secretary in the Northern Ireland office, Prime Minister.’ Unclear what was happening, an amazed Boris thought he was being offered a fudge –and pretended he had not heard. It was only later he discovered that Gray had been turned down for the job – blocked, possibly, by Simon Case, which one can assume is where her own particular renowned dislike of Case began. After this meeting things turned nasty and her report eventually declared that she had heard about events that really should not have taken place. None of which, of course, were known to Boris Johnson. In the transcripts of her interviews she can be seen asking witnesses if the PM had any knowledge of gatherings, even when the question seems totally irrelevant, as though trying to drag Boris in. The witnesses always said no. It cannot be stated often enough, Boris Johnson was as surprised as everyone else to learn that so-called parties had taken place in No10 when he had left Downing Street for his official residence, at Chequers. The Met police investigation fined him for being behind the desk he had sat behind all day as they fined Rishi who walked up to the desk. Never let it be forgotten that Sue Gray was herself in 2017 described as the ‘woman who runs the country’. Her role in the Cabinet Office as DirectorGeneral of the Propriety and Ethics team who reported directly to the Cabinet Secretary, had a wide-ranging remit over the operation of ministerial offices, public appointments and government ethics. A close friend of Gove, she had advised him in 2011 that conducting government business via his private email would make such emails exempt from freedom of information requests. Absurd advice which was investigated following complaints bythe information commissioner and overturned. As a Government ethics tsar, she had never previously been hostile to the occasional workplace relaxation, as can be seen in the photographs of her using the very karaoke machine she later complained about in her report. Boris Johnson, of course, had no idea of the machine’s existence. More tonight…

Axing levelling up shows lack of ambition and a failure to believe in this country’s potential. Labour will axe Brexit next. Then they will pointlessly whack up taxes. The drift backwards has begun.

@reformparty_uk No it won’t and Farage will be under far more scrutiny, now an MP. Let’s see how that goes? Anyway, I thought you were a Limited Company, not a bona fide political party?

@BladeoftheS I do believe that we need to retain a mainly elected HoL and certainly privatise water supply.

Astonishingly Labour under Starmer have won three million votes fewer than Labour won under Jeremy Corbyn in 2017.
