Nadine Dorries has won the support of well-known conspiracy theorist David Icke after her new book pointed to a “shadowy Tory” figure who operates within the Conservative Party.
The Daily Mail has published the first serialised extracts from the book on Boris Johnson – and they’re as bonkers as you’d expect.
Among the many astonishing claims are allegations levelled against a powerful Tory known as ‘Dr No’, who she says once had an ex-girlfriend’s little brother’s pet rabbit “chopped into four and nailed to the front door of the family home to greet him when he got home from school, in true Mafia style”.
She said the “shadowy Tory” figure, who has been left anonymous, is central to a cabal of figures who have been secretly controlling the Conservative Party for more than two decades.
Responding to the claims, Icke, who believes he is a “son of the Godhead” and receives messages from the spirit world, endorsed the revelations, saying:
“What I have been writing for 30 years and this is only part of it.
“Former Minister Nadine Dorries on the shadowy clique manipulating the Tory Party for 20 years (Another clique owns the Labour Party and both cliques answer to a higher clique – the Cult).”
Brendan May shared the comments on X, saying: “I realise I have been completely wrong about her – she is even crazier than I thought.”
