Where else, before you've even got out of bed in the morning can you: discover that the Lib Dems have won a by election in St Austell and Newquay, where Tory PPC Caroline Righton recently smeared Liberal Democrat candidate Stephen Gilbert; give Nadine Dorries some advice on how to tweet pictures from her Blackberry (not in the same league as my friend Sarah ( @soggous ) who recently helped Jenson Button's...

Nadine Dorries tweeted yesterday that she'll be taking part in a TV programme in December, spending a week living with a family on a housing estate. I think several MPs are doing it. I'm hoping Nadine ends up staying on the Marsh Farm estate in Luton, which borders her constituency and has a certain notoriety. (There were riots there, a long time ago now, but it's like St Pauls in Bristol; people who...

Twas on 18 September when LOL told our readers of the quite extraordinary modus operandi of the former Home Office Mole in a Hole Chris Galley (above). A mole whose little mounds of poo wrecked Damien's Green. Here you go . Perhaps he's turned up to poo his way through the lawn at Nadine Dorries' Woburn House? Not her "main home" of course which is (a) somewhere else and (b) completely immune...

Last night, many of us realised – with a gasp and a phew – that we had been holding our breath for some time, as the chairman of South West Norfolk Conservative Association announced to the waiting cameras that Elizabeth Truss had survived the attempt to deselect her as the Conservative party parliamentary candidate. The unfortunate [...]

Let me see if I understand Nadine, writing on Comment is Free today . You are actually saying that it is Labour and Newsnight's Michael Crick that treated Liz Truss wrong? What follows is my comment HERE . This seems completely delusional Nadine. Also disappointing is the fact that you've not brought your own experience of a mysterious de-selection attempt in Hazel Grove in 2000-2001 to bear on this...

Nadine Dorries is over at Comment Is Free proudly describing the "uncanny synergy between Conservative Central Office and the grassroots membership." I'm presuming that her own political history equips her with special insight - and that "uncanny synergy" is some kind of euphemism for.. well.. let's go to the record : Back in 2000, Nadine Dorries (nee Bargery) managed to shave ten...

The row concerning the sacking of professor Nutt continues with steady momentum as one advisor after another resigns at key moments, providing the story with the turbo thrust it needed to propel it from Friday night PM to the Monday morning Today. The juxtaposition of morals versus statistics will always provide flash points in the world [...]

Strange wasn't it that just as LOL put up some questions for Ms Nadine Dorries MP on her nursing qualification and experience it was announced that new Nursing entrants, from the next intake, will all need to complete the degree route. Presumably this leaves three cohorts in process on the parallel diploma route with the newest intake completing their diplomas in 2012. As ever these diploma nurses...

A call was made to the force during the early hours of Sunday, following complaints about the rave near Horton. A spokeswoman for Northamptonshire Police said that when...

TORY MP Nadine Dorries has made a grovelling apology to a Scots Labour colleague she branded a sex pest on Twitter.

The point when your newspaper outflanks Nadine Dorries is arguably a good one to pause for reflection. Opinion appears to be crystallising around the view that The Sun newspaper’s coverage of the prime minister’s so-called “insulting” letter of condolence to the family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan has rather less to do with that conflict and ‘our [...]

NAD-LIBS work just like Mad-Libs, only they focus on the adventures of everyone's favourite Conservative MP, Nadine Dorries. (It's hard to think of a more fitting tribute, given her tendency to imagine or invent stuff that happens to her, often...

Former Sun political editor George Pascoe-Watson told MediaGuardian yesterday he was "born with a Sun hat on ... I don't think you could really do politics for the Sun without instinctively feeling it in your gut". But, as John Rentoul reports , Pascoe-Watson's gut instinct appears to be that The Sun's attack on the Prime Minister's over his letter of condolence to the family of a soldier...
