Contents
Opinions
Dorries supported a ban on wearing the burka, stated that they should not be allowed in Britain and that it was "shameful that countries like France and Denmark are way ahead of us on this".
In November 2020, an email from her office revealed the plans for a 2-tier society, saying that "The Covid Vaccine will not be made mandatory. However, if you chose not to take the vaccine, then you will face short-term restrictions to prevent you infecting anyone else until society has achieved herd immunity." Back in November 2020 this was still classified as a conspiracy theory by corporate media. Dorries denied having seen the email before it was sent.[1]
In 2021 she has promoted the Online Safety Bill, which will criminalise trolls and "online hate speech". It has been argued that the bill will protect freedom of expression but the short title of the bill suggests otherwise.[2] She is being encouraged to make the bill more broad by the Labour Party.[3] A Counter-terrorism angle has also been used to promote the bill. Keir Starmer wants trolls who commit "online hate crime and hate speech" to be targeted in the legislation.[4]
Expenses
In May 2009, The Daily Telegraph, as part of its exposure of MPs' expenses claims, questioned whether the property in Dorries' constituency, on which she claimed £24,222 additional costs allowance (for "secondary" housing costs), had been in fact her main or only home from 2007 onwards.[5] The newspaper also queried hotel bills including one for 'Mr N Dorries': these had been disallowed by the Fees Office and Dorries said they were submitted by mistake. On 22 May 2009, she spoke on BBC Radio 4 and drew parallels between the McCarthy 'Witch-Hunts' and the press's 'drip-drip' revelation of MP's expenses, eliciting David Cameron's public criticism.[6] She said everyone was fearing a 'suicide', and colleagues were constantly checking up on each other.[7] Later in the day her blog was taken down. It transpired that Withers, lawyers acting for the Barclay Brothers, the owners of the Daily Telegraph, had required the removal of the blog, on threat of libel action against the service provider.[8]
In January 2010, it was reported that Dorries was still being investigated by John Lyon, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, regarding her claim for second home expenses[9] There was some debate as to the location of her main home.[10] It was also reported that Dorries had claimed £20,000 in office expenses for work undertaken by Media Intelligence Partners, a media relations and public affairs company.[9]

| COVID-19/Lockdown/UK | “Journalists should stop asking about an ‘exit strategy.’ There is only one way we can ‘exit’ full lockdown and that is when we have a vaccine. Until then, we need to find ways we can adapt society and strike a balance between the health of the nation and our economy” | 15 April 2020 |
