As I understand it, Nadine Dorries claims that she is upset because it is alleged in one of the emails between Damian McBride and Derek Draper that she is supposed to have had a one night stand with a MP.
I fail to see the point of attempting to smear Nadine Dorries on this ground, with an invention, when the real story is that Nadine Dorries lied about there not being a third party involved in the break up of her marriage with her husband who is suffering from multiple sclerosis. The truth is she was then and still is having an affair with this third party.
The Telegraph is reporting that "The decision by Mrs Dorries to sue over the emails threatens to ensure that the saga, which ministers hoped had ended, will continue for weeks and months to come".
This Tory strategy to attempt use the courts against Labour was first mentioned here on conservativehome.com.
It is the hypocrisy of the Tories which gets me. David Cameron talked about the morals of marriage, but when Nadine Dorries gave up her 33 year relationship with her husband to put her desire for power first David Cameron welcomed her with open arms and said her divorce was a private matter. Double standards is dishonest.
As far as I know Nadine Dorries asserts that she had no alternative romantic interest whatsoever before sacking Paul Dorries. She also asserted that she did that because he allegedly demanded that she give up politics and move overseas. Not because he had a serious progressive illness. And as far as I know the specific romantic interest of late 2008 did not outlast the year. Do you know different? Have you actually got some evidence to the contrary John? Or are you just taking a flier on this one? I'm going to have to put a health warning on your second link (to this post) or remove it until/unless you come through with some evidence.
ReplyDeleteChris: Think about it. The answer is in the Daily Mail article. She said that there was no third party. If there is hubby as one party, and Nadine Dorries as the second party, and she left him for the Tory party, that makes it a third party involvement. It is accurate, is it not?
ReplyDeleteNope. It is not an "affair". Though you might get away with it ... as no-one seems to bother actually suing you anyway ...
ReplyDeleteChris: You put the word "an" into the equation. I did not. Have you not heard of the Dreyfus affair? It was not about love but about a political scandal.
