Dorries living the conspiracy club dream

Be careful what you wish for.

- John Crace

Danny Kruger was already looking very queasy when he was sat at the back for the Reform press conference in which Nigel Farage revealed his plans for mass deportations of legal migrants. Then on Wednesday, it fell to him to go on the news channel to say that when Zia Yusuf had repeatedly said that Keir Starmer was a terrorist who was plotting to kill Farage, he had actually meant something entirely different. Fair to say that Danny probably isn’t living his best Reform life.

Nadine Dorries, though, is another matter. She really is living the dream. She is a woman of no regrets. Perfectly happy to live in the day. The past isn’t just another country, it’s a parallel universe. One where any inconsistencies and inconvenient truths are consigned to blissful oblivion.
