10 people Dave should fear: Nadine Dorries

MP for Mid-Bedfordshire

Known variously as "Mad Nad" and the Conservatives' answer to Heather Mills, the MP for Mid-Bedfordshire didn't want Cameron
as party leader: "he represented everything that through my life . . . I'd been suspicious of." Cameron is the one who should be suspicious. A member of the Cornerstone Group, Nadine Dorries couldn't be further from media-friendly compassionate conservatism. Her energetic defence of expenses included an insistence that MPs were near-suicidal with worry, and claims for £18,000 to cover rent on a "second home."

Dorries's creative interpretation of facts undermines causes that Cameron supports. To back up her stance against late-term abortion, she propagated an internet rumour that a 21-week-old foetus could punch through an incision in a womb. And her vendetta against the Speaker, John Bercow, is at odds with the Tory leader's recent support for Bercow in his constituency seat.

Previous: Edward Leigh

Next: Margaret Thatcher

Nadine Dorries MP should be top of this list.
She is a "loose cannon" dangerous because she has since 2005 done things in a nasty way to undermine even her own party. She wants rid of Bercow and by fair means or foul ! The media she brought down upon herself for herself, publicity !!re sleaze emails left me horrified. It was a "put up job" she tipped them off she could have stayed quiet and waited. No, guns blazing for publicity, she made sure she would shout it from the roof tops but would have us believe it was for her reputation, others named didn't behave as she did. Rather a laugh when you consider reading things like Cameron babe chooses career over husband no 2
Cameron has a dangerous woman here. Hypocrite for family values, and has had affairs and advertises it in newspaper interviews. Not in the least embarrassed either. ( fact on record )
Word reached me there are people in Liverpool who could pull the rug from under this particular MP.
We the public need to know why Cameron simply lets her get away with her outbursts in newspaperTV .etc
Cameron should be asked about her behaviour.
Hand Of Hope huge example sheer fabrication about the babies hand reaching out. Mersey Tunnel should be her name and she should go before she does more damage to the party.
Mr Cameron how would YOU feel if she said she would sue YOU like she said she would sue Mr. Brown. I am conservative but whatever my Politics the absolute arrogance of this woman to say she would Sue Brown. Wake up Mr Cameron or this will fall back onto YOU as having let this MP behave as she does.
Where is the "somewhere other house? why has all gone quiet about the pills given to Tower Block residents and if not She had them, so still why no investigation ?
Mr Cameron it appears sees no wrong in this MP. Strange when you look back over her record ( stories )
