    Aral Balkan Retweeted Nadine Dorries

    British MP to every foreign secret service in the world: our office has no information security to speak of & you’re welcome to access my account for the low price of getting an intern on my team via an exchange programme. Brexit Britain, taking back control yet again. #infosechttps://twitter.com/NadineDorries/status/937019367572803590 …

    My staff log onto my computer on my desk with my login everyday. Including interns on exchange programmes. For the officer on @BBCNews just now to claim that the computer on Greens desk was accessed and therefore it was Green is utterly preposterous !!

        This is my MP, she has done fuck all for me or my county she only serves to further her own right wing cause. This tweet just blows my mind with its naivety, stupidity and amateurishness. I’d be sacked for this in my job. @NadineDorries

        I hope so, it’s so utterly lacking in intellect and I’d have thought incriminating too. I’m hoping this car crash of a conservative government stops soon and people will now have seen the truth and we vote for people who do actually care again and lose this waste of oxygen.

        For ordinary people in ordinary jobs it would be a risk to commercial confidentiality. But for @NadineDorries it amounts to a risk to bigger things.

        It's OK though as she ranks herself as a low ranking back bencher. Nothing to worry about opening herself up to spy ware and potential blackmailing.https://twitter.com/NadineDorries/status/937320405521633280 …

        Flattered by number of people on here who think I’m part of the Government and have access to government docs 😅 I’m a back bench MP - 2 Westminster based computers in a shared office. On my computer, there is a shared email account. That’s it. Nothing else. Sorry to disappoint!

        And free access to the HoC internal network, which I'm sure has absolutely nothing of interest to any foreign power

        Many people have pointed out the same thing — instant dismissal in some cases. Unfortunately MPs are not held to the same standards of conduct as the rest of us...

        Or bribe/threaten an intern/staff member who has passed whatever vetting was required to get their House of Commons pass.

        I thought the same thing. How these even warrants mentioning "Brexit" is beyond belief. I made the choice to have a cheese sandwich today... bloody Brexit taking back control... again! the cheek of it.
