BROWN'S SCARY TACTICS

Dorries, who sat behind David Cameron and George Osborne during the Government’s statement on the Northern Rock debacle this week, explains she got a close and disturbing view of our embattled Prime Minister.

She says: “It’s becoming scarier sitting so close to Brown. The fixed manic grin on his face is so unnatural and frankly his pallor was really an odd shade.”

The increasingly nervous Nadine even fears for young Osborne’s safety. “I’m ready to pounce and pull George back over the seats should Gordon lose control and come flying across the Despatch Box and try to eat him or something,” she adds.
