The former culture secretary’s exit leaves the Prime Minister facing a tricky by-election in her seat.
The former culture secretary had come under mounting pressure in recent weeks – including from fellow Tory MPs – to act on her vow to resign on June 9.In her lengthy letter, she accused Mr Sunak of leading attacks on her resulting in “the police having to visit my home and contact me on a number of occasions due to threats to my person”.
Labour, the Lib Dems and two town councils in her constituency – Shefford and Flitwick – had urged her to go. The staunch ally of former premier Mr Johnson said the book she has written titled The Plot: The Political Assassination Of Boris Johnson – to be published in September, “exposes how the democratic process at the heart of our party has been corrupted” and led her to conclude she could no longer remain as a backbench MP.
Labour is hopeful of overturning Ms Dorries’ 24,000 majority in the by-election in Mid Bedfordshire, which the Conservative Party has held since 1931.
