I know many of you are following the story of how Nadine Dorries misled the House of Commons Culture Select Committee on which I sit. The Committee issued an excoriating report about her. I sent a copy to The Speaker asking him to take action. Have a listen to his response to me.
Labour MP Jess Phillips treats the Commons to an incredible speech
Ms Dorries is lucky journalists are distracted. The Culture Committee - cross party - has concluded she told us an entirely fabricated story. Misleading Select Committees is serious. I’ll be referring our report to Commons Privileges & Lords Appointments.
Britain is becoming a police state by stealth. The draconian & deeply undemocratic #PublicOrderBill just cleared the Commons - 283 in favour, 234 against. Ironically, can only hope the unelected Lords will stand up against this dangerous & populist Govt and vote it down.
“If the @Channel4 investigation remains unchallenged by evidence, it will be clear ex Culture Secretary#NadineDorries has misled a Commons Select Committee and will thus be an inappropriate person to be recommended for a peerage.” @CommonsDCMS
Tory MPs just voted *again* to ban protests which are "too noisy" - a direct assault on our democracy & precious #RightToProtest . Just hope it gets reinstated in the Lords (who ironically seem to be doing a much better job at defending civil liberties than Commons) #PolicingBill
