Faithless Tories feign loyalty to Rish! with all the plausibility of a Nadine Dorries story

After Simon Clarke proposed yet another leadership switch, most Tory MPs looked the other way – but Nadine sees deeper intrigue

Cometh the hour … At times like these, we can only turn to one person. The woman with her finger on the dark heart of the Tory party. The woman who managed to expose a secret even MI6 didn’t realise it had. Even though it was MI6 who told her. Step forward, Nadine Dorries.

Her seminal work of fiction, The Plot: the Political Assassination of Boris Johnson, uncovered a new history of the last 25 years. Nothing had been quite as it seemed. Here’s where her fearless research took her. Back in 1997, William Hague and Michael Gove had conspired to divert the Tory party from its true nature as the home of the deranged. So they had deliberately failed to make the party electable to allow David Cameron and George Osborne to take over.

England booed off after failing against Iceland once more in Euros warm-up

It was a long way from being the triumphant Euro 2024 send-off for Gareth Southgate and his England players at a sold-out and increasingly fretful Wembley.

When it comes to immigration policy, Biden is increasingly Trump-like | Moustafa Bayoumi

Why is the Biden administration rolling out policies that are so unpopular with members of his own party? Who exactly does Joe Biden think he is, Donald Trump? The question probably sounds ludicrous on its face. Trump is a known bully . But folksy Uncle Joe – with his big, toothpaste smile – is supposed to care about the little guy and do the right thing. On immigration, for example, candidate Joe took a stand in 2019 in direct opposition to his opponent, whom he accused of waging “an unrelenting assault on our values and our history as a nation of immigrants”. That same year, Biden also said that if people are coming to the country “because they’re actually seeking asylum, they should have a chance to make their case”. So why is Biden now laying down yet another set of rules to the asylum system on the nation’s southern border that looks ominously like Trump’s?
