Dorries urged by council to stand down: Sunak must withdraw the whip 

EMBARGO: For Immediate Release

Responding to the Shefford Council calling on Nadine Dorries to step down, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:

“Nadine Dorries’s actions are a gross insult to the people of Mid-Bedfordshire. Why on earth should their taxpayers’ money fund an MP who hasn’t worked in months? If Nadine Dorries had a shred of integrity left, she would stand down now and give local people a chance to elect a new MP who will actually do the job. 

“It is disgraceful that she continues to have the Conservative Party whip. Clearly Rishi Sunak thinks Nadine Dorries’s actions are still worthy of being a Conservative MP. 

“Local people are fed up with being taken for granted by this out of touch Conservative party”.
