The Tory MP and former minister Nadine Dorries has resigned her Commons seat and accused Rishi Sunak of “demeaning his office” by speaking out against her.
Two-and-a-half months after first announcing her intention to step down as MP for Mid Bedfordshire in protest at not receiving a peerage, Dorries on Saturday accused the prime minister of abandoning “the fundamental principles of Conservatism”, telling him: “History will not judge you kindly.”
