Nadine Dorries to Step Down from Culture Secretary Role - Clean Feed - 05-09-2022
It was widely reported over the weekend that Liz Truss would offer Nadine Dorries the opportunity to remain in the Culture post.
However, The Mail is reporting tonight that Dorries has decided to return to the back benches.
It's expected she will be given a peerage.

Let's hope that this has saved Channel 4.

Hopefully but I fear not. You'd think there couldn't possibly be anyone worse at being culture secretary than she is but they always manage to surprise.

I imagine the the likes of the BBC are not celebrating just yet for that very reason. Previously they had thought John Whittingdale MP was bad news for them.
From the candidate interviews I seem to recall that both had indicated the Channel 4 sale would still go ahead. Hopefully though the BBC can get a better increase/settlement though with whoever takeovers as Culture Secretary to avoid even deeper cuts.

Kemi Badenoch seems to be the name being thrown around the most this morning so yeah, we're likely going from bad to worse. Or at least from bad to equally as bad.

Whilst not always the most reliable source I couldn't help noticing Michelle Donelan's wiki entry mentions...

One could argue that experience of TV is an improvement on being on I'm A Celeb.

That's not her only media experience according to her Wikipedia biog, she worked for Marie Claire and WWE. Still not a massive amount but at least has some industry experience
