Every new chapter in the Nadine Dorries story gets harder to script, and this latest one is surely the most out there yet.
The former culture secretary and (at the time of writing) Boris Johnson cheerleader in chief has already begun her own investigation into why she didn’t get the peerage she had been promised by Boris Johnson.
And if that hadn’t spawned enough ridicule already – read all our favourite reactions here – she now wants an inquiry into the parliamentary inquiry into the former PM which reported its devastating findings on Thursday.
Although the parliamentary standards committed was chaired by a Labour MP, Harriet Harman, it had a majority of Conservative MPs and Dorries wants to see them all in the headmaster’s office first thing tomorrow.
We also need to keep a close eye on the careers of the Conservative MPs who sat on that committee.
Do they suddenly find themselves on chicken runs into safe seats? Gongs?
Were promises made?
We need to know if they were.
Justice has to be seen to be done at all levels of this…— Rt Hon Nadine Dorries (@NadineDorries) June 15, 2023
And it prompted no end of responses, as you might imagine, and here are our favourites.

Remember when Nadine Dorries said she thinks Tory donors should get to choose the Prime Minister of the UK…
And now she's accusing the #PrivilegesCommittee of corruption? … Weird. https://t.co/KI33oyHtgu pic.twitter.com/lWnbNQpBEy

Nadine Dorries is reminiscent of a chimp throwing its own shit at a wall. The nonsense falling out of her currently is quite a sight to behold, even by her wildly low standards.

Paul Gascgoine's just shown up at Nadine Dorries' place with a roast chicken and a magnifying glass to help with her special investigation.
