DO TELL, NADINE...

-

A RARE voice of sanity on the over-sexed men and scantily dressed waitresses at the all-male Presidents Club dinner. Tory MP Nadine Dorries suggests she’s seen worse: ‘I deplore the behaviour that took place. However, a bit uncomforta­ble with the “men only” bashing. I’ve been on “girls only” nights since I was old enough!’

A SURVEY of peers’ language usage on Twitter put the Lib dems at the top of the foul-mouthed league. according to the analysis, six of the ten most ‘sweary’ lords are Lib dems — with Baroness Ludford most culpable, having Tweeted or endorsed 51 profanitie­s last year. I fear that, in private, her obscenitie­s are more numerous — considerin­g that public support for the Lib dems is a wretched seven per cent.

SO MUCH for comradeshi­p among labour Party members. Wannabe parliament­ary candidate Christian Wolmar was canvassing when he spotted former leader tony Blair. Hoping for a chat, Wolmar was ushered out of Blair’s way by two machine gun-toting bodyguards.

OVERHEARD in a Commons bar amid smirking about Ukip’s priapic, under-siege leader henry Bolton: ‘There are only 337 Ukip leaders until Christmas.’

LORD ROBATHAN, a former tory deputy chief whip, complained last week that cuts to defence budgets had ‘gone down to the bone’. is this the same lord robathan, who as a defence minister in the tory-led Coalition, presided over defence spending being cut by eight per cent?

ANTI-royal Labour MP Emma Dent Coad (who made fun of her Kensington constituen­t Prince Harry’s military service record) is in danger of making an enemy of another Londoner. Highlighti­ng soaring crime rates in the capital, she tweeted that knife offences are up 23 per cent, robberies up 30 per cent, as well as rises in vehicle thefts, break-ins and murders. She said: ‘Things are going backwards under the Tories.’ One problem: law and order in London is the responsibi­lity of her Labour colleague, Mayor Sadiq Khan.
