NADINE Dorries has been left without a role in Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet.
That’s hardly surprising considering she spent the whole summer calling him a backstabber. She even went so far as to share a “dangerous” image showing the former chancellor looming over Boris “Caesar” Johnson with a knife.
With little else to entertain herself but the occasional Twitter rant, Dorries has tried her hand at TV presenting.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to be very good at that either.

Filling in for Piers Morgan on his show on Rupert Murdoch’s TalkTV – which is already struggling for viewers as it is – Dorries fell as flat as a pancake.
The Tory MP struggled to make sense of anything, descending into rambling incoherent nonsense – which to be fair should have been expected.
Radio host James O’Brien, who has made something of a sport of publicly jousting the former culture secretary, shared the cringey moment on Twitter.
“Oh boy. I think Nadine Dorries might actually be better at TV presenting than she is at politics,” he quipped.

“Ouch ouch ouch. Car crash,” actor James Purefoy wrote.
That just about sums it up.
The Jouker never thought it would come to this, but watching Piers Morgan may actually be preferable to that.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
