Some people don’t know when to shut up.

This Writer has said it before and no doubt I’ll have to say it again – especially about Tories.

The case in point is that of Shaun Bailey, the “Partygate Peer” (ennobled for failing to win the election to be London’s mayor, despite having been caught taking part in one of the infamous Tory “lockdown parties”) who attacked Carol Vorderman for having political views while (he claimed) posting revealing photos of herself on Instagram.

He’s been back on the box, doubling down on his claim and adding that he thinks her political views make Ms Vorderman a bully.

Here’s what he said. Take note of Dr Louise Raw’s comment that prefaces the clip here, and let’s come back to it after you’ve been through all the evidence.

The appearance has attracted more adverse publicity for Bailey from Ms Vorderman’s supporters:

And here’s a nine-minute rundown of Tory misogyny, including that alleged of Bailey himself, that is well worth watching:

Did you notice the part in which Ms Vorderman’s Instagram is examined and the images had nary a bum or boob in sight?

I mention this because Bailey does also have his supporters, like Julia Hartley-Brewer, who insisted that “it’s all bum and boobs”, in the fact of the evidence.

And one of her guests still came out in support of Ms Vorderman! Watch:

Put it all together and the image of Shaun Bailey that has been presented to the public – by people on both sides of the argument – is of an unsavoury individual who is supported by people of similar unsavoury characteristics.

So, going back to Dr Louise Raw’s comment: if you are a parent of a school-age child, would you want this man visiting their school and polluting their mind?

Perhaps the last word for now should go to Florence, below, who refers to a Conservative Women event attended by both Bailey and “Rohypnol Jimmy” – the current Home Secretary, James Cleverly.

Her post refers to both Cleverly’s self-expressed (although he claimed it was humorous) interest in spiking women’s drinks with a date-rape drug and Bailey’s attitude to women’s clothing:

Rishi Sunak should be going frantic. With an election only months away, these men are the poorest advert for the Conservative Party that there could be.
