Watch: Reactions as Nadine Dorries featured in three car crash interviews

"I can’t imagine there are many circumstances in which Nadine Dorries would defend me, but I’m absolutely certain that there are none in which I’d want her to."

Nadine Dorries (for it is she) has taken being Nadine Dorries to the next level.

She, let’s say was a bit ‘unsteady,’ as she gobbed off to various news channels.

Dorries spoke to BBC News, Sky News and Channel 4 News and it was the gift that kept giving.

She was attempting to defend Boris Johnson, after his awful speech to the House yesterday evening.

Johnson, while trying to save himself, accused Sir Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute disgraced entertainer Jimmy Savile when he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

This isn’t true and Starmer isn’t happy about it, as you can see from this clip.

#KayBurley – I didn't understand what the PM was talking about when he brought up Jimmy Savile… what's that about?

Keir Starmer – It's a ridiculous slur, peddled by right-wing trolls… he tries to drag everybody into the gutter with him… pic.twitter.com/q6tZPDlQWx

Anyway back to Nadine.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked Dorries about the “fake news” perpetuated by Johnson about the Labour leader and describing the claims as an “old meme repeated by conspiracy theorists”, the minister said “the prime minister tells the truth”.

She then insisted that: ‘I don’t know the details.’

Then onto Sky News, on her magical mystery tour of cringe.

Dorries described a Sky News story on the report as “pure fiction and guesswork”.

“I would like to just deal with the facts if that’s ok,” she said, before telling the reporter that the Sue Gray report had “some quite useful, accurate, observations and recommendations”.

And she wasn’t finished yet, time for the BBC, a broadcaster she would like to see the back of.

Dorries claimed that the people criticising the PM over the report were the same people who had hit out at his leadership since before he was even elected leader of the Conservative party.

PM Boris Johnson has "given his apology," and "we'll wait to see" what the Met Police's findings are, says Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries

Quite a night for Dorries, you would agree?

I can’t imagine there are many circumstances in which Nadine Dorries would defend me, but I’m absolutely certain that there are none in which I’d want her to.

BREAKING NEWS: Speculation that @NadineDorries was “drunk” in a TV interview this afternoon – as apparent from her constant swaying – has been called in to question by a source, who argues that her erratic behaviour “was due to her attempting to stay upright on a sinking ship”. pic.twitter.com/jEzAFyQzHh

Nadine Dorries just claimed, on Sky New (whilst swaying like a common drunk) that what Sam Coates quoted DIRECTLY from Sue Gray’s report, is “pure conjecture”.

Christ on a bike. This is just embarrassing.

She needs to lay off the gin

Nadine Dorries will be a complete nobody once Johnson goes. This isn't loyalty, it's self-preservation https://t.co/WdNlHoxpoQ

And why have they never liked him? Come on @NadineDorries, nearly there, you can do this. https://t.co/bYiCwrOfjm

10.

One of the many difficulties facing Boris Johnson is that the only people left to defend him are clear, demonstrable idiots. Nadine Dorries on Sky News right now is just not helping at all.

Just listened to Nadine Dorries prove she is the stupidest person within 100 miles of Westminster.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
