Nadine Dorries In Trouble For Threatening The Pm?

[Hymie]

Apparently this mad woman has been sending ‘forceful e-mails’ to the government as to why she was denied a peerage (and demanding she be given a peerage). The Cabinet Secretary (Simon Case) has reported the issue to the parliamentary authorities, and also asked for advice about any potential breach of the law.

It won’t be long before the mad people start posting, defending her right to complain, threaten people who blocked her peerage and to demand a peerage.

Along with the voters of Mid-Bedfordshire, I’m still waiting for her to resign.

PP is correct, a peerage is an honour: she has no right to get one and nobody has a duty to provide it for her. The reason is probably that she was invstigated and found unworthy, and if I were Sunak I'd tell her so, loud enough for reporters to hear. But if for whatever reason he chooses not to, that's fine, he doesn't have to.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 includes Sections relating to exempt information. Section 37 relates to, "Communications with Her Majesty, etc. and honours." It includes,

"37(1) Information is exempt information if it relates to—
...
(b) the conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity."

It appears then that Nadine Dorries can ask why her nomination for a Peerage was refused, via an FOI request for example but the reasons are exempt and need not be disclosed.

Boris promised me an honour for being loyal. The powers that be vetoed it on the grounds that I didn't actually merit it.

Oh dear. You lost. Get over it.

"Apparently this mad woman"

so if shes "mad" where on the spectrum does that place you and your obsessional postings then ?

Equal with your overwhelming need to comment on same?

now thats irony...keep it up

It’s her sense of entitlement that sticks in the craw. An undistinguished politician soon to be a footnote in history.

[Atheist]

She says she won't fulfill her promise to resign immediately until she's received an explanation. I wonder how her constituents feel about her knocking off a book defending Boris, instead of doing the job she's paid for. Perhaps she writes at night and works for her constituents during the daytime.

[Ellipsis]

She's right, it's not fair that Jacob Rees Mogg got a knighthood and she didn't get a peerage. They're both equally useless, and he shouldn't have had the knighthood ...

[Atheist]

But Mogg is dangerous and she is just a joke. So he got what he wanted and she was left in the lurch.

[naomi24]

Perhaps she does exactly that, atheist.

[Peter Pedant]

are the mad people going to support her for doing this?

Seems so, OG. Mad! - - haw haw haw - well this is AB on a saturday, so it is the usual mad or madder

o boo-hoo, boo-hoo. Axemen complaining they havent been paid off ( or paid enough)

This is called third party pleading by the way
X got it ( the third party) and I didnt and it isnt fair
and never works

[Atheist]

Naomi; and perhaps she doesn't. Do you have any inside information?

[naomi24]

No I don’t. Hymie’s your man. You’ll need to twist his arm though.

poor thing wants to be an undistinguished peeress soon to be a footnote at £300 a day - and to be honest, who wouldnt

[Peter Pedant]

Andie if your dear wife has written "eggs" on a list, and then crosses it out, the purchase (eggs) hasnt been rescinded
it hasnt even been made !

Her name was on a list ( for honours for the usual hangers-on and toadies) and later wasnt. It down to someone who had the power to restore name to THE list, and that didnt occur

loud screams and threats from commoner, alas destined to remain common

[Atheist]

PP; Don't talk down to us! Why use, all of a sudden, straightforward pleb language? Mind you, maybe some of the plebs will be stuck for a coherent reply to your post. Well done!
(I think that 'pleb' may be acceptable to the mods - they do seem to be happy with 5C)

[Peter Pedant]

dont tell them Hyme
