In an try to stay like the remainder of us, Nadine Dorries shared her anguish at attempting to get Glastonbury tickets.
Punters joined the queue for the annual scrimmage for tickets on Thursday, as the primary lot of the 2023 locations went up on the market with coach packages.
Very similar to each different yr, they sold out in minutes, but before they did the MP shared a screenshot of her own mission to land a ticket.

While it may have been a relief for some to see that the former Culture Secretary didn’t get any special queue-jumping privileges for the biggest music festival in the country, which previously welcomed then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to the Pyramid stage in 2017, the people were well and truly baffled by her post.
‘…from my understanding, the competition celebrates music, variety, tradition, humanity, togetherness and so forth…so what on earth is she going for?’ one wrote, as one other added it was ‘the day Glastonbury lastly died for me’.
As some shared it helped take the sting out of not getting a ticket themselves if Ms Dorries can be there, one confused Twitter person mused: ‘Isn’t Glastonbury a bit to “tofu consuming, Guardian studying, wokeirati” for the tories?’
That sentiment was echoed by one other who wrote: ‘Filled with woke, CH4 watching folks Nads, not for you’re keen on x.’
