[Commons standards chair seeks restoration
of 1801 rule to compel attendance or by-election]

[A campaign to force “absentee MP”
Nadine Dorries to attend parliament or face
a by-election this autumn is being spearheaded
by the chair of the Commons standards committee.

Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant told
the Financial Times he wanted to see the
restoration of a parliamentary rule from
1801 stating that “no member do presume to
go out of town without leave of this House”,
in an effort to force Dorries to follow through on
her vow to resign.

The MP for Mid Bedfordshire and former
culture secretary has angered opposition
MPs and some fellow Tories by remaining
in post since she announced on June 9
that she would step down “with immediate effect”
in protest at not being given a peerage
in former prime minister Boris Johnson’s
resignation honours list.

Dorries — whose claim that Rishi Sunak’s
administration blocked her
nomination “to punish Boris” has been
denied by Downing Street — insists she is
delaying her exit from the Commons
while she seeks more information about
the process regarding her peerage nomination.]



I agree she is not acting as a proper MP.

As she should be, she’s making a mockery of herself and the system and being made for the privilege, her constituents deserve better

Yes Get her out

It took 2 years to get Margaret Covid out, so, this seems somewhat pointless

Yes but she is SNP


Conservatives and Labour are Main Stream

She is making a mockery of the whole process.

She said she was standing down with immediate effect yet hasn't officially done so.
She's really a deluded individual.

It is likely her seat will fall to the LibDems but that must be far more satisfactory than having an all over the place deluded MP.
Any move to get her to go is welcome.

why would the tories risk losing another seat unless they have to. Labour can complain all they like, but she didn't officially give up her seat
