"Nadine Dorries' Resignation: A Blow to Boris Johnson's Allies in Parliament"

Nadine Dorries, Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, has resigned with a scathing attack on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. In her resignation letter, Dorries highlighted her achievements during her 18-year tenure and criticized the government's abandonment of key manifesto commitments. She accused Sunak of failing to listen to the tech sector's calls for regulatory reform and blamed him for London losing its appeal as a listing destination. Dorries also alleged a "dark story" of corruption within the party and Downing Street, and criticized the prime minister for orchestrating personal attacks against her. She announced her intention to publish a book exposing the alleged corruption and will trigger a by-election on September 4.
