I may have gone over the top about Rishi’s clothes… But I don’t want my party to be fooled by appearances the way many of the Cabinet were, writes NADINE DORRIES

I wanted to highlight Rishi’s misguided sartorial style in order to alert Tory members not to be taken in by appearances in the way that happened to many of us who served with the Chancellor in Cabinet. The assassin’s gleaming smile, his gentle voice and even his diminutive stature had many of us well and truly fooled.

ALL MOUTH AND NO TROUSERS‘: Brexiteer Nadine Dorries blames scared Tory MEN for failed coup against Theresa May – but claims they only need two more letters
„I can tell you this – it certainly isn‘t for all the women in the ERG – all the women have put their letters in.“

Ms Dorries added: „MPs will think to themselves, ‚If I vote to keep the prime minister in place she‘s going to be there for the next 12 months when anything could happen, is that what I want?‘ And I think most MPs will vote ‚no‘.“
She defended her description of the Brexit deal as leaving the UK as „slaves“ to the EU.
„I would call us a vassal state, an empty state, I‘d call it serfdom, it‘s appalling,“ Ms Dorries said.
