Devastating news today that former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has deleted her Twitter account.
The Conservative MP was a reliable source of unintentional humour and is rumoured to be on her way to the House of Lords in a twist that is entirely worthy of the times we live in.
I see Nadine Dorries has deleted her Twitter account. In future years we will look back on her time as a senior politician with utter bewilderment. How ever was she elected?

We can’t out rule Nadine Dorries deleting her account by mistake.

Not to rain on the parade, but it's possible that Nadine Dorries has deleted her Twitter account in order to prevent the House of Lords Appointment Committee from scrutinising the unhinged bile she routinely posted.
