She launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister as she handed in her resignation more than two months after pledging to go.
Rishi Sunak faces a challenging by-election test this autumn after Nadine Dorries quit her Commons seat
She had come under mounting pressure – including from fellow Tory MPs – to act on her June 9 pledge to step down with “immediate effect” in protest at not getting a peerage in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list. This will enable the writ to be moved when Parliament returns on September 4 for a by-election in Ms Dorries’ Mid Bedfordshire constituency.
Mr Sunak’s party did manage to hang on to Mr Johnson’s old Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat, but with a much-reduced majority. The former nurse launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister in her resignation letter, accused him of betraying Conservative principles and putting her personal safety at risk by whipping up “a public frenzy” against her.
