Nadine Dorries has revealed she is standing down at the next election, warning the Tory party’s dismal poll ratings are “terminal”.
The ardent Boris Johnson-supporting MP made the announcement just days after starting a new job hosting a show on TalkTV.
In the clip released ahead of Friday night’s programme, Ms Dorries hit out at Rishi Sunak supporters, claiming they had put the Conservatives further behind in popularity.
She blasted the Tories for “infighting” and “stupidity” and claimed Mr Johnson had begged her to stay.
“The elite, the faux political intellectuals, you know who I’m talking about – those who believe they know better than anyone else, bet everything on a Rishi bounce… but it never came and it was never going to,” she said.
“The party was five points behind on the day Boris was ousted… and that was a poll deficit that would have burnt away like a summer’s mist on a morning lawn in the heat of a general election campaign.
“Today it’s 24 points behind. And that, my friends, could be described as terminal. It leaves the party boxed into a corner with no exit route.”
