The Boris Johnson ally, who is facing a Lib Dem plot to remove her from Parliament, will quit on 4 September
But she confirmed on Saturday that she intends to quit on 4 September – days after the Liberal Democrats said they would try and use Parliamentary procedures to oust her.
The letter decried the “political assassination of Boris Johnson” and claimed that “the most powerful figures in the land” were lined up against her, adding: “Remaining as a back bencher was incompatible with publishing a book which exposes how the democratic process at the heart of our party has been corrupted.”Ms Dorries said: “The clearly orchestrated and almost daily personal attacks demonstrates the pitifully low level your Government has descended to.
“Since you took office a year ago, the country is run by a zombie Parliament where nothing meaningful has happened. What exactly has been done or have you achieved? You hold the office of Prime Minister unelected, without a single vote, not even from your own MPs. You have no mandate from the people and the Government is adrift. You have squandered the goodwill of the nation, for what?”
The Liberal Democrats have vowed to mount a challenge in her Mid Bedfordshire constituency, which has returned a Tory MP at every election since 1931 and where Ms Dorries won nearly 60 per cent of the vote in 2019.
