Re: Nadine Dorris stands down as MP with immediate effect
She's obviously not done it because of this...

Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary, and Alok Sharma, the former Cop26 president, had been expected to stand down to take peerages, leaving Sunak facing two by-elections.
However, a Whitehall source said that both were taken off the list yesterday over concerns about the damaging impact of the contests, particularly in Sharma’s marginal Reading West seat. Downing Street declined to comment.
Last night a source familiar with the process said that Dorries and Sharma’s names had been resubmitted to the House of Lords appointments committee for vetting and their peerages were likely to be granted at a later date.

The last thing I would want to do is cause a by-election in my constituency
