6 Nadine Loses It – Twice Mid Bedfordshire Tory MP (yes, it’s her again) Nadine Dorries entered the competition for the Deputy Speaker’s job. She came last. So out came the excuses. Again.

5 HS2, Crewe And A Monorail Cheshire East Council leader Michael Jones has been spinning a frankly batshit story about moving Crewe station and building the town a monorail. This was a proper pile of crap.
