The Conservative Party is facing another potentially damaging by-election after Nadine Dorries formally resigned 11 weeks after saying she'd quit.

Ms. Dorries, an arch loyalist of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Saturday in her letter of resignation, saying he has “no mandate from the people” and has “squandered the goodwill of the nation.”
