She was caught on camera quickly rushing to No.10 soon after Sunak and Javid quit. “He’s achieved and delivered in vaccines and education and will do the same for the economy. Praising his ability to “achieve against the odds”, she noted: “He will deliver for health in the same way he delivered for vaccines and education.” She tweeted: “He arrived in the UK as a refugee who couldn’t speak English.

Awkward moment Nadine Dorries congratulates Nadhim Zahawi for ... (Bedfordshire Live)

The Culture Secretary and Bedfordshire MP, Nadine Dorries, has awkwardly had to delete a Tweet after she congratulated a colleague for the wrong job.

Following the claims last month, that Conservative MP Chris Pincher had drunkenly groped two men, the PM was dealt another blow on Tuesday morning when it transpired he was aware of allegations against Pincher in 2019 but ignored them. Boris Johnson had survived a vote of no confidence in June but was warned he faced mounting pressure on his cabinet to abandon him. "He will deliver for health in the same way he delivered for vaccines and education. Congratulating Zahawi, Nadine wrote on Twitter: "He arrived in the U.K. a refugee who couldn't speak English who knows nothing but to achieve against the odds. But despite his blundering ministers, all eyes are firmly on the Prime Minister who is now trying to hold together a crumbling cabinet. The Prime Minister was forced to make an emergency reshuffle after Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid gave him their resignations yesterday (July 5), following Johnson's handling of the Chris Pincher scandal.

Nadine Dorries: From I'm a Celebrity to Johnson's loudest cheerleader (New Statesman)

Once better known for her eccentric reality TV appearances, the culture secretary has become one of the prime minister's staunchest supporters.

“She is one of our top-selling authors and much-loved by those of us who have worked closely with her; she is an absolute natural as a writer and storyteller,” Rosie de Courcy, her editor at the publishing house Head of Zeus, tells me. She is a successful author: her Four Streets and Lovely Lane series of novels, based on growing up in Liverpool, were best-sellers, though they were savaged by critics. First to be voted off the show by viewers, she donated her MP’s salary for the duration of her appearance to charity, and had the whip restored after a few months. Shrewd, warm, down-to-earth and unshockable, with a very good sense of humour.” This seemed deeply ironic to me because she is responsible for online disinformation, and legislation which outlines a duty to behave properly online,” he tells me. The Cameroon elite insist they were not rattled by her pot-shots; they didn’t take her seriously then and don’t now, according to insiders who were present at the time. “Imagine being the minister for paperclips and only being able to speak about paperclips, I’d hate it,” she said back then. A social conservative with Catholic heritage who tried to introduce stricter time limits on abortion, she didn’t quash rumours that she would defect to Ukip at that time. He’s won two major elections, and nobody else in the party matches that at the moment,” Nadine Dorries told me over a fillet steak in June 2013, during a lunch interview for Total Politics magazine. “She’s just someone who, as a woman, would always have your back. During the September 2021 reshuffle she made it to the cabinet table as Culture Secretary, where she remains, calling time on the BBC and mistaking Channel 4 for a taxpayer-funded broadcaster. Her long-held loyalty towards Boris Johnson, who was then a year into his second term as mayor of London, has been rewarded.
