NADINE DORRIES: I Don apos;t Feel A Shred Of Pity For Phillip Schofield

A few weeks ago, in my first column for this newspaper, I described what I saw as the poor, if not bullying, behaviour I had witnessed from while I was being interviewed in the This Morning studio.
A visibly nervous co-host — standing in for — was sitting next to him on the sofa, holding a script.

Schofield aggressively jabbed his finger at the pages.
It's tough being interviewed live on TV as a politician, but most presenters are cordial and professional before filming starts, whatever their personal views.
That's how they put you at ease — and then, if you let your guard down, catch you out.
It was never like that with Schofield, who was always looking in vain for the 'gotcha' moment: the clip that would go viral and propel him and his ego to the top of the day's news.
What is extraordinary, however, is ITV's decision to let Schofield present another 'prime-time' show, the British Soap Awards, next month

At the weekend, we saw those staged photographs of Schofield in Cornwall with his mother.

According to friends, he is 'completely broken' after his sudden departure from This Morning.
Broken? I don't think so. Schofield dug his heels in until the very end, refusing to leave.
It was only when it got to breaking point, and ITV knew it would lose Ms Willoughby if he stayed, that he agreed to go.
What is extraordinary, however, is ITV's decision to let Schofield present another 'prime-time' show, the British Soap Awards, next month.
Why does the channel think that's a good look — or even what the British public wants?

We live in an age of accountability and scrutiny — especially of those who have built their careers opining on the behaviour of others.
And there are still many questions to ask about this case — not just of Schofield, and what he might have done that could have led to his departure.
There are also questions for ITV executives and This Morning editor, Martin Frizell.
What have they known about Schofield, for how long — and why are they letting him host other prestigious shows?
Some things we do know.

Holly and Phillip's relationship reportedly broke down as a result of his failure to tell her about his brother's child-sex trial, for which Timothy Schofield was sentenced to 12 years in prison last week.
Timothy was convicted of 11 sexual offences involving a child over a three-year period, including two of sexual activity with a child.
In his own statement to the court, Phillip, 61, said that his younger brother had confessed to him that he had watched pornography and masturbated with a teenager — whom Timothy had assured Phillip was over the age of consent — and that there had been no physical contact between them.

Phillip merely told his brother that this must 'never happen again'.
As for ITV, it looks to me as though the channel was most concerned with protecting Schofield's reputation, and its own, for as long as possible.

Yesterday, stand-in presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary thanked Schofield for his service to the show and said they wished him 'all the best for the future'.

Really?
Why is it that men with power never have to face the full consequences of their actions?
Why is Holly, a woman I have always admired, putting out a statement that 'the sofa won't feel the same' without him?
Holly, get a grip.

You should admit the truth: that you could not bear to fake it a day longer sitting next to Phillip.
Schofield has a track record of making enemies and upsetting people with whom he has worked, from Fern Britton to Ruth Langsford.
Sorry, but I don't feel a shred of pity for him.

In the end, as my grandmother used to say, it all comes out in the wash.
I doubt we have heard the last of the Schofield saga, no matter how many times he attempts to clean up his image.
What I am sure of, though, is that in due course we will know more about what was really going on — and why, after more than 20 years, Schofield left the show so suddenly.
  Home Secretary Suella Braverman's speeding ticket is a storm in a teacup — and one that will pass as quickly as it arrived.

The real scandal is Labour making such a fuss about it.

Labour grandee Harriet Harman is guilty of a litany of motoring offences — including travelling at 99mph down the M4 and driving without due care and attention. 
In 2003 she was banned for seven days and has had to pay hundreds of pounds in fines and court costs for her offences. 
Former Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was given a three-month prison sentence in 2019 for lying to police about a speeding ticket.
These women shouldn't be on the road at all: Suella's alleged mistakes pale in comparison.
  Think tank Civitas has released new polling showing that a third of working mothers with children under 16 would give up their jobs if they could.
The figure is even higher among mothers of pre-school children. As Civitas's Frank Young put it: 'Most women want to be mothers a lot more than they want to be in the workplace.'
Hell would freeze over before you'd hear either a Tory or Labour MP admit any of this.
Stay-at-home mothers perform one of the most important roles in society: raising the next generation.
Yet sheepish MPs, especially female ones, barely represent them in Parliament, and often prefer to speak out on behalf of the trans lobby instead.
  Why Vernon made my DayOver the years, I've spent a lot of time in the car on non-working days accompanied by Ken Bruce on Radio 2.

So, like many others, I was nervous about the recent decision to change the format and bring in new presenter Vernon Kay.

At ease, everyone: Vernon is pure genius.
Recently, he played Secret Love by Doris Day — one of my late father's favourite artists — and dedicated it to his own mother. It always brings a lump to my throat as I remember Dad singing along.
There was also U2, Fatboy Slim, Harry Styles and Neil Diamond.
Vernon, the son of a lorry driver and a shop assistant from Bolton, who happens to be married to the very beautiful Tess Daly, is in charge — and everything is going to be fine.

  Shrub that should carry a health alert I was disturbed to read that to grow the drought-tolerant plant euphorbia.
The plant's sap hit me in both eyes: I have never experienced such excruciating pain in my life (Pictured; euphorbia)
According to one expert, it releases a sap that can cause pain 'approximate to childbirth'.
I know this to be true.

One summer afternoon two years ago, I bent down to clear a weed at the foot of my euphorbia.
The plant's sap hit me in both eyes: I have never experienced such excruciating pain in my life.
What ensued was a spell in A&E, with a large silicone contact lens over each cornea, as my eyes were flushed out with saline fluid, while I also developed the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome.
I was lucky: my ulcerated corneas healed.

But the surgeon told me that euphorbia can blind children.
Every euphorbia has been removed from my garden, as it should be from any garden that children may visit.
At the very least, it should carry a health warning.
Beware.
