In a Mail on Sunday video, Dorries attacked Sunak, stating he “became prime minister without a single vote from the public.”

She also described accusations of her abandoning her constituents as “nonsense”.

Following the letter, a Conservative Party spokesman said the party has already “selected a candidate and are ready for the by-election campaign”.
