Nadine Dorries has handed in her resignation letter 11 weeks after announcing she would resign in protest over not receiving a peerage.
The MP for Mid Bedfordshire announced that she would be leaving her seat with “immediate effect” in June but failed to do so until today.
Her resignation means an election will be held in her constituency within weeks.
In a letter to Rishi Sunak, Dorries accused the prime minister of putting her personal safety at risk by “whipping a public frenzy against her” and disclosed that police had visited her home last week, warning her about a threat to her security.
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, the former culture secretary also accused the prime minister of betraying Conservative principles.
