Nadine Dorries hasn't ruled out entering the crowded race to replace Boris Johnson.
The Culture Secretary may have been the Prime Minister’s most loyal supporter in Cabinet and stuck by him as it collapsed last week.
In an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News, she admitted she had considered making a leadership bid to continue her boss’s ‘legacy’.‘But for me, the most important thing is that we continue what 14 million people voted for. ‘We continue that manifesto and that legacy. I’m very keen that people don’t trash the legacy of the last three years.’
Ms Dorries also hit out at Rishi Sunak, saying he had planned his leadership bid ‘to the letter’ and ‘launched it the day it was ready’.It’s a big day for Nadine Dorries. Will she run to replace Boris Johnson? ‘We’ve all been working so hard, how can he have been that campaign ready?Candidates require the support of 20 MPs to make the leadership contest, with nominations closing later today.
Mr Sunak, the frontrunner and bookies’ favourite, already has the declared backers to make the threshold, along with Penny Mordaunt and Tom Tugendhat.
