Summary

Having said she'll step down, Nadine Dorries has now said that she won't formally resign as an MP until later this year... It's hard to see this as anything other than revenge taken on Rishi Sunak, so as to prolong the by-election pain, Katy Balls says. Cindy Yu also talks to Kate Andrews about the economic pain in the country at the moment – from lacklustre GDP growth to rising mortgage rates.

Produced by Cindy Yu.

commons with immediate effect, but that definition is not what one would

I think naturally see as immediate. And you've had both Nigel Adams and Boris Johnson go
