Effective immediately just 78 days after his resignation Nadine Dorries seems to have finally made it.
She posted the letter behind a paywall on the Daily Mail page, but it was also shared in full by the BBC, which you can read here.
These are some highlights – or lowlights.
“Many of the CEOs I spoke to in the technology sector and business leaders really wanted you as Chancellor to bring about meaningful regulatory reform that would allow companies not only to do business in the UK, but also to list on the London Stock Exchange instead of New York “You flashed your bright smile behind a camera in your Prada shoes and Savile Row suit, but you just weren’t listening.”
“Since you took office a year ago, the country has been governed by a zombie parliament in which nothing significant has happened.” Exactly what has been done or achieved? You hold the office of Prime Minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs. They have no mandate from the people and the government is at a loss. You wasted the goodwill of the nation, for what?’
“They have abandoned the basic principles of conservatism.” History will not judge you kindly.’
As Carol Vorderman Note that some of this was absolutely true. Even a stopped clock, etc., etc.
Nadine Dorries resigns

We don’t yet know what Sunak thought of the development, but here’s what a lot of other people had to say about it.

A suitably cheesy career highlight for a truly horrible human being.

Nadine Dorries has finally resigned her seat in the House of Commons, two months after she vowed to step down “with immediate effect”.
She wants to spend more time with GB News and write her book It’s not fair, I should have been given a peerage.

It is sad to see that Nadine Dorries is stepping down after her long and heroic struggle with logic, coherence and the English language.

Well fuck me. This is the origin of all resignation letters from@NadineDorries. It’s a hypersonic missile with a nuclear warhead – and a deliciously personal, oozing disdain for it@RishiSunak
