Nadine Dorries has delivered a scathing attack on her Conservative Party’s leader, accusing the PM of running a ‘zombie parliament’
U.K. member of parliament Nadine Dorries has delivered a scathing attack on her Conservative Party’s leader Rishi Sunak in her formal resignation letter, accusing the prime minister of running a “zombie parliament” and lacking any political vision.
Dorries formally quit late on Saturday with a lengthy resignation letter that tore into Sunak. The by-election to replace her will likely take place in the autumn, presenting the Conservatives with another test of their popularity when they are trailing the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls. “You hold the office of prime minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs. You have no mandate from the people and the government is adrift. You have squandered the goodwill of the nation, for what?”A former finance minister and investment banker, Sunak became prime minister in October last year after being the only candidate to be nominated in a party leadership contest.
By-election votes are considered one of few remaining opportunities to gauge public support before that election. In July, Sunak’s Conservatives lost two strategically important parliamentary seats but unexpectedly retained Johnson’s old constituency in a setback for Labour.
