Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Independent

Nadine Dorries, former culture secretary, has criticized Michelle Mone, a peer in the House of Lords, calling on her to resign. Mone is facing calls to be barred from the Lords after admitting her involvement in a PPE contract that she stood to benefit from. Dorries questioned why Mone was made a peer in the first place and highlighted unanswered questions surrounding the PPE Medpro scandal. Dorries also expressed her disappointment at not receiving a peerage herself and accused Rishi Sunak of blocking her entry into the Lords.

Former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries has delayed her resignation as MP for Mid Bedfordshire until she receives more information on why she was denied a peerage. Dorries accused Rishi Sunak's team of removing her name from Boris Johnson's resignation honours list. She has requested all correspondence around her removal and put in Subject Access Requests to the House of Lords Appointments Commission, Cabinet Secretary, and the Cabinet Office. While Dorries remains an MP, she can turn up in the House of Commons chamber to make her views known.
