The item on page 10 headlined "Standard and Pisspoor" is a detailed attack on both Paul Beresford (as a member of the Standards and Privileges that criticised Dorries) and Kathryn Hudson the Parliamentary Commissioner for "Double Standards" (as PE puts it)that issued the latest damning verdict on her.<br /><br />Apparently far worse MP abuses are being ignored but Dorries "has few friends" so she can safely be targeted.<br /><br />Which reminds me - when has Dorries ever been subject to the Eye's criticism? I've been keeping a casual watch since Tim Ireland's report of his confrontation with Ian Hislop and can't say I've ever read a single report with her as its subject (before or since). All the leg work is done by blogs such as yours with follow up items in the Tabloids?<br /><br />So what's the reason for this Omerta?

I hope she added the interest! ;)Ms H Cushionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240499746412710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-5536140803097290222013-11-30T17:26:19.261+00:002013-11-30T17:26:19.261+00:00Passing a comment does not mean I agree with it, a...Passing a comment does not mean I agree with it, and in the case of @1 does not mean I find it even remotely credible.<br />Tim Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726447899972084146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-67046919225689536882013-11-30T17:16:35.344+00:002013-11-30T17:16:35.344+00:00You omit her good work on highlighting the Barclay...You omit her good work on highlighting the Barclay Bros of Brecqhou and their funding of the BNP/EDL.
