Nadine Dorries speaks to Sky News after standing down as an MP. Politics latest:
Sir Bill Cash says he believes Boris Johnson was under"very severe provocation" before his resignation as an MP - adding that he'll study the privileges committee report"with great care".
And though some have offered a more gloomy view of the Conservative Party's chances in a by-election for Mr Johnson's Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat, Sir Bill warned:"Don't suggest for a minute that you know what's going to happen because you don't." On that, there's persuasive evidence that while his supporters are vocal, they simply aren't in numbers great enough anymore to be able to elevate him through the political ranks again.
In the months running to the general election, the last thing Rishi Sunak needs is Johnson-related political drama distracting from his domestic messages. In a statement published on the Stone Conservatives website, the veteran MP and arch Eurosceptic said it had been the"greatest honour" of his life to serve in both the Stone and Stafford constituencies."I have done my best over the time, and I thank everyone for what they have done for me."Liberal Democrat MP Daisy Cooper has reiterated that her party would not enter a pact with Labour to win seats in by-elections as she called them"a terrible idea".
The collapse of the Kakhovka dam in the country's southern region of Kherson earlier this week released a surge of water into homes, fields and roads, forcing thousands to evacuate.It comes"in recognition of mounting needs across Ukraine, including in the areas affected by the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam," the government said.
Families bereaved by COVID say the"devastating impact" of Boris Johnson's time as prime minister will live on after his resignation. Meanwhile, 72% think it likely he committed further COVID offences, something Mr Johnson has denied.
