'I didn't bully Nadine Dorries, she throws the word bully around with gay abandon.' MrJohnNicolson speaks to mrjamesob moments after being cleared of bullying accusations made by Nadine Dorries.
moments after being cleared by a Westminster standards panel.
Mr Nicolson recounted the "stressful" experience to James: "Just after she quit, Nadine Dorries made a series of complaints about me bullying her. So this has been hanging over my head for months. "I think the worst thing anybody could every say about me is that I am a bully, no one's ever called me a bully in my entire life."He continued: "I didn't bully Nadine Dorries, she throws the word bully around with gay abandon."
After praising the complaints process that is in place, Mr Nicolson said: "This is unprecedented for one MP, in this case a secretary of state, to allege that her opposite number is bullying her. Bullying does not involve giving somebody a hard time cross examining them.
The SNP MP responded: "If you watch Westminster you'll know that most of Westminster is a waste of time, it's an ongoing process... as far as I know, there is no such process but I really think the procedures should be confined to members of the parliamentary estate who are making complaints about members of parliament."
