Naomi, whatever you or I think of Theresa May her "attack" was part of a feature in the Sunday Times Magazine which would have been printed well before Nadine Dorries finally made up her mind.
As far as the latter was concerned, perhaps so little time was spent either in parliament or in her constituency in the last few months because she was too busy composing her vituperative resignation letter.

NAOMI, "Labour closed more mines than the Conservatives…but no one mentions that."

"overall from a total of 1,250 pits in 1947 to the present day, 522 mines were closed throughout the UK by Labour and 728 by the Conservatives, including several hundred small licensed mines."
Large mines closed
"Labour 371
Tories 584

It's your blurb insofar as it's what you've produced it to support your argument. The first figure is 728 which includes 'several hundred' non-nationalised mines. That becomes 584 'large' mines, which would make either the 728 or the 'several' hundred inaccurate. The not so large mines closed by any government aren't mentioned and so appear to be lost somewhere in translation and therefore I suspect your figures are skewed.
You and I will never agree on this Corby. There's no point going round the houses.

I have no idea who is right and who is wrong in this friendly discussion, (or if both are correct in their own ways) but looking at this quote from Corby,
"overall from a total of 1,250 pits in 1947 to the present day, 522 mines were closed throughout the UK by Labour and 728 by the Conservatives, including several hundred small licensed mines."
it is not clear whether the several hundred small mines applies to the Conservatives or to both parties, but it does seem unlikely one party would have a monopoly.
The large mines closed figures
Labour 381
Tories 584

Give a total of 957, so there are presumably 293 pits still to account for to produce the 1250 total.
Amen. (It is often the last word, but probably not in this case.)
