    Top Tory Nadine Dorries has confirmed she is stepping down as an MP with immediate effect.

    Her departure comes amid fevered speculation she is being handed a peerage by Boris Johnson, whose long-awaited honours list is expected shortly.

    The former Cabinet Minister, 66, tweeted: "I have today informed the chief whip that I am standing down as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, with immediate effect.

    "It has been an honour to serve as the MP for such a wonderful constituency but it is now time for someone younger to take the reins."

    Her departure will trigger a by-election in Mid Bedfordshire, in a headache for Rishi Sunak.

    That makes sense, I'd noticed during the video yesterday he was constantly touching something around his neck, I did think it was a crucifix. I thought I'd heard around the same time he had a partner in Sweden, I got the impression there had been a domestic dispute and for whatever reason he went to France (living rough). I think he tried to claim asylum there but it was pointed out that he didn't need to due to freedom of movement within the EU. He has a child the same age as the ones he attacked, according to this story, which I quickly googled, because I thought I'd heard that said: https://news.sky.com/story/france-attack-what-we-know-about-stabbing-in-annecy-playground-12898755

    Edit: This article states more clearly he had an ex wife and young child... https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/police-arrest-france-knife-attacker-wife-speaks-daughter-annecy/

    Wahaay, the extreme left are running out of targets. They may have to actually start thinking. <laugh>


    Boris Johnson has resigned as an MP with immediate effect, triggering a by-election in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency.

    In a statement, the former Prime Minister said he was quitting his seat and triggering an immediate by-election because he was “bewildered and appalled” at the Privileges Committee's investigation into him.

    He said he had received a letter from the committee which is investigating whether he lied to MPs over partygate “making it clear, much to my amazement, that they are determined to use the proceedings against me to drive me out of Parliament”.

    Mr Johnson said: "I have today written to my association in Uxbridge and South Ruislip to say that I am stepping down forthwith and triggering an immediate by-election," he said.


    “I am very sorry to leave my wonderful constituency. It has been a huge honour to serve them, both as mayor and MP.”

    He added: “It is very sad to be leaving parliament, at least for now, but above all I am bewildered and appalled that I can be forced out, anti-democratically, by a committee chaired and managed, by Harriet Harman, with such egregious bias.”

    In a rallying call to his followers, Mr Johnson used his resignation statement to deliver a stinging attack on Rishi Sunak's Government.

    "When I left office last year the government was only a handful of points behind in the polls. That gap has now massively widened," he said.

    He'll claim any, but I think he's an Arse.

    I think we're supposed to be in full meltdown mode about Trump and Boris, or something. <laugh>

    I've said it before, but the extreme lefties on here will never get it as long as they've got a hole in their arse. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
