Late last night I was reading reports that David Cameron was furious with Nadine Dorries for suggesting that MPs were stressed about having their venal expenses claims exposed in the Daily Telegraph. I went on to her website to find that her blog had been taken down. It was still, at the time, available in the Google cache and so I saved it. You may still catch it all here. It seemed likely that s...

Reports of Nadine Dorries’s website traffic levels appear to greatly exaggerate the truth, but the Conservative MP has not been willing to put the record straight. Earlier this month Bedford Today quoted Nadine Dorries as saying: Having so many people visiting the site can be quite scary – according to Google I had 800,000 readers in July. Google

Why on earth would the Daily Telegraph’s owners, the Barclay brothers, shut down Tory MP Nadine Dorries’ blog just because she questioned their motives in exposing the Parliamentary expenses scandal? Ms Dorries has warned that some of the targets of the Telegraph witch-hunt are on the verge of suicide. I can well believe it. That doesn’t invalidate the investigation but there is ...

Nadine Dorries is for the Telegraph treatment tomorrow. But some of the complex story of her accommodation arrangements is already out on her blog - including the text of the Telegraph warning letter - and in a Telegraph pre-quel story. It is complex, but it appears that Nadine Dorries only has one proper home in the UK - in the constituency, staying at her own expense as needed in London (hotels?...

Nadine Dorries says parliamentarians fear suicide in their ranks over allowances revelations A Tory backbencher today accused the Daily Telegraph of coming close to carrying out a "McCarthyite witch-hunt" in its disclosures about MPs' expenses claims, which she said had brought MPs to a point that was almost unbearable for any human being to bear. Nadine Dorries, the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, ...

I don’t often find myself in agreement with Nadine Dorries, and I find her recent comments regarding MPs’ expenses somewhat disproportionate, but I do find allegations that her blog has been taken off-line at the behest of the Telegraph disturbing – very disturbing. Clearly the Barclay brothers believe in freedom of speech for the Telegraph, but not

The Daily Telegraph has now turned to the puzzling accommodation arrangements of Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire. She replies on her blog - lots of random capitals but few answers.

Nadine Dorries has been 'outed' by the Telegraph as having made questionable expenses claims. Her rented home in her constituency is classified as her second home, for which she claims the usual bangs and whistles at taxpayers' expense. Her main home is 'somewhere else.' She goes 'somewhere else' during free weekends. During parliamentary recesses, she also stays...
