Nadine Dorries’s resignation has triggered the 'most interesting by-election' for years, says former Tory insiderA former Tory insider said the upcoming by-election triggered by Nadine Dorries’s resignation offers the government a rare “glimmer” of hope.Unlike previous by-elections, Dorries’s seat will be hotly contested by both the Liberal Democrats and Labour, potentially splitting the anti-Conservative vote – according to Theresa May’s former Chief of Staff, Gavin Barwell.
“In every other by-election we’ve had recently, it has been obvious to you and me who the challenger was,” said Brand. In other by-elections held this year, either the Liberal Democrats or Labour have stepped back from campaigning if one party suspected the other had a better chance of beating the Conservatives.Read more:“There is a lot of talk at Westminster,” continued Barwell, “that [Labour’s lead in the polls] is more to do with the unpopularity of the Conservatives than Starmer and Labour’s own popularity.
Dorries, a staunch Boris Johnson ally, served in his cabinet as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
