Nadine Dorries should be in her constituency, not the jungle says Swindon MP (From Swindon Advertiser)

Justin, you may as well have been in the jungle last month when many of Swindon's youngsters lost their jobs at Northwood Environmental... in fact I bet there is fungai on trees in the Australian jungle that would make a more effective MP than you.

Yup.

Here's an idea.

Lets send all the MP's to the jungle for six months and see what happens.

I bet we might find we can do without them

I was going to say she is an embarrassment to her profession!

Silly me!!

How, exactly, can an MP 'save' a failed private company that is unsustainable and economically unviable?

It's ridiculous to expect MPs (of any party) to be able to simply waltz along and sort out everything you might like to be other than it is.

Blame the owner, director and management at Northwood Environmental - that's where the problem lies.

As for Dorries, she has always been keen for what she perceives as 'fame' and celebrity. All she's really done here is lower herself to the level of chancers such as George Galloway.

Still, like Louise Mensch (who I note has attacked Dorries for her TV appearance), they both know they would have lost their seat in the next general election in any case, so why not just do as they please.

Seems a shame that with comparatively few female MPs the ones we do have seem to be fairly unconcerned about achieving the position.

Isn't it the responsibility of the constituents not to vote for MPs who treat their role as part-time, fiddle their expenses or who were part of the last Government who left this country in such a mess?

Perhaps Justin should be reminded of a coalition pledge to allow a power of recall over MP's.

Perhaps Justin would like to take this up and ensure it is implemented. Some how I doubt it.

Hi Justin, how you doing, buddy?

The jungle is full of leechs. One more won't make a difference.

Hi Justin, how you doing, buddy?

My car insurance has gone up by £20 this year, it's a DISGRACE that my MP hasn't got involved and got me a £5 discount. Won't be voting for them again *pokes bottom lip out*

It's not Justin.

Oliver hasn't been elected

Wouldn't trust any of them. Look at the story about Andy Harrison!! Another one that tells fibs to save his rear.

"“There are too many MPs who treat their role as a bit of a sideline. Gordon Brown MP is a classic example, only occasionally popping in, a guest appearance in Parliament – yet still on a full-time MP’s salary."

Bit below the belt Justin, it is not as if he didn't have the 2 most powerful jobs in the government for 13 years. Which is 8 more years than you will be an MP for.

Btw I have had no like for Gordon Brown or Tony Blair when both were in government.

I think Justin makes a fair point about Gordon Brown. He got kicked out of Number 10 because he was disliked, inept and a dismal failure... but then continued to grab his MPs salary and expenses while hardly ever attending Parliament and simply sulking back home in Scotland.

He's been doing that for 18 months.

Although I do agree with you that, sadly, Swindon will probably make the mistake of flopping back to two abysmal Labour MPs at the next election. And then Justin will probably win again in 2020.

Plenty of time still left for sucking up though
