Nadine Dorries, the Conservative former culture secretary, has announced she is standing down as an MP with immediate effect.

She made the announcement in a tweet after having reportedly been dropped from Boris Johnsons resignation honours.

The move means there will be a byelection in her Mid Bedfordshire constituency, where in 2019 the Conservatives won a 24,000 majority.

It will be the first byelection where the Tories will be seeking to retain a seat since Rishi Sunak became prime minister in October 2022.
