Brexiteer MP claims all Leave voters wanted a no-deal and everyone is asking the same question

With just a little more than three weeks until Brexit, the options are looking increasingly slimmer and less optimistic by the day.

The prospect of exiting the EU without a withdrawal agreement is now very realistic and, for some MPs, this has long been a desired option.

For the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg (who has always maintained that 'no-deal is better than a bad deal') and Iain Duncan Smith, who has claimed that even Remainers are supporting a no-deal, Brexit will be a doddle for the UK and we seriously have nothing to worry about.

Another MP we can add to the pro-no-deal list is Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP for Mid Befordshire and bestselling author of titles like The Mothers of Lovely Lane and The Four Sheets (described by The New Statesman as like reading 'clippings from Wikipedia).

On Wednesday, Dorries tweeted an article from The Times where the Bank of England's Mark Carney had stated that 'no-deal would be less damaging than originally feared'. However, her tweet was a little misguided. She said:

As No Deal approaches (what 17.4m people voted for) the project fear mongers become aware that they had better start trying to save face and personal credibility, fast.

It's unlikely that all 17.4 million people who voted to leave actually voted for a no-deal and, even if they did, we're not sure how Dorries would have possibly asked them all.

This was the burning question on everyone's lips. 'How does Nadine Dorries know what 17.4 million people voted for?' Needless to say it was a very common question.

A few people who actually voted to Leave also got in touch with Dorries and claimed that a no-deal wasn't what they voted for.

To make matters worse for Dorries she seems to have something of a short memory.

Just four days after the EU referendum in June 2016, she tweeted that she was in full favour of the so-call 'Norway Model'.

Quite why Dorries has changed her mind so dramatically isn't obvious but, Twitter being Twitter, people were quick to remind her of what she had once supported.

indy100 has contacted Ms Dorries for comment.
