Nadine Dorries has joined Priti Patel in quitting the cabinet hours after Liz Truss won the Conservative leadership contest.

The culture secretary was offered the chance to stay in the role, according to the Mail Plus, who first reported the story. The website quoted a friend as saying: “[Dorries] has decided now is the right time to leave cabinet.”

It is expected that she will now be given a peerage in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list, triggering a byelection in her Mid Bedfordshire constituency.

The Commons' gain is the Lords' loss.
