Nadine Dorries, the MP who is leading a new campaign to cut abortion time limit, has been suspended from the Tory parliamentary party over her decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
Dorries has said that she has no ambitions, and that all she wants to do is God’s work. Getting at least £40,000 as an appearance fee for hanging out in the Outback means nothing to her, then.
It will take more than a dressing down from a Tory whip to keep Dorries in check. Defending abortion rights will be one the central focus of the AWL's work in the next period.
You can help by getting involved in the broad campaign to defend a woman’s right to choose. But also by donating to the AWL!
