#Dorries:The ‘Dr Death’ slur against Dr Evan Harris by Sunny Hundal.

The editor of ConservativeHome, Tim Montgomerie, likes to style himself as the leader of the moderate, conservative movement in the UK. But his nastiness is increasingly on show with the upcoming abortion vote.

For the past few days, his website has been referring to Dr Evan Harris as ‘Dr Death’ – picking up the slur frequently parroted by Nadine Dorries MP.
