Nadine Dorries No 10 adviser secret didn’t last long,
Nadine Dorries is looking for a new job after FINALLY stepping down as an MP and not getting that much wanted peerage. But a secret service agent is not likely to be her next role.
She was appearing on LBC to talk about her new book, more fact than fiction, she claims.
Nads was asked to name someone secret not named in the book, and she said she never would, that last 11 seconds.
Nadine Dorries No 10 adviser
In the book, Dorries alleges Robbie Gibb recommended Stephen Gilbert for the role of Ofcom chair, but she wanted Michael Grade handed the top job instead.
However, after writing a note to Boris Johnson with this decision, she writes that a mole in No 10 informed her of a “scandalous” situation the next day in that the letter had been “interfered with and someone else’s name is in there”.
Iain Dale
Iain Dale on LBC, Dorries was pressed to name exactly who she alleges was responsible for making the change to her advice note.
Nadine Dorries explained: “I think what they did was they crossed out the name ‘Michael Grade’ and wrote the name ‘Stephen Gilbert’ in, on my advice note.”
“And who do you think did that,” the presenter asked.
The former MP responded by insisting she was “never going to say.”
Dale pressed further: “Why won’t you say?”
“Well, I believe that it was Dougie Smith,” Dorries conceded VERY easily.
LBC
LBC shared the clip and wrote: ‘“I’m never going to say.” After exactly 11 seconds of scrutiny from @IainDale, Nadine Dorries finally names the government adviser she accuses of altering her advice to Boris Johnson.
