Conservative UK lawmaker resigns, accuses PM Sunak of endangering her safety

UK Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has formally resigned from her position and launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in her resignation letter, accusing him of leading a "zombie parliament" and lacking political vision. Dorries, a close ally of former leader Boris Johnson, criticized Sunak for holding the office of prime minister without a mandate from the people and squandering the nation's goodwill. The by-election to replace Dorries is expected to take place in the autumn, providing another test of the Conservatives' popularity as they trail behind the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls.

UK politicians cry foul over peerages and credibility in ongoing row.

Former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries claims "sinister forces" prevented her from receiving a seat in the House of Lords. This comes after MPs await the publication of a report into whether Boris Johnson misled MPs over pandemic events in Downing Street. The report is due on Wednesday and is expected to be devastating to the former prime minister's reputation. The fallout from Johnson's resignation honours list has also fueled a continuing rift within the Conservative Party, including a war of words between Rishi Sunak and Johnson. Downing Street is now facing a hat-trick of by-elections after Dorries, Johnson, and Nigel Adams announced their resignations in quick succession.
