Nadine Dorries has once again proved herself to be a staunch ally of the Prime Minister as the Culture Secretary slapped down any suggestions that Boris Johnson was a “dead man walking” after disgruntled Conservative MPs secured a vote of no-confidence over partygate. Ms Dorries told Sky News’s Kay Burley that Mr Johnson had “got every single big decision right” and backed the Prime Minister to survive Monday evening’s vote.

Mr Dorries told Sky News: “So I’d say the only thing that matters are the 14 million people who voted for him in the General Election.

“The Prime Minister won the biggest majority of any Conservative Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher.

“It’s kind of a slight day of madness today, but I hope we get through this vote tonight, we will get through this tonight and we can move on smoothly.

“No, he isn’t a dead man walking! Because as I said, he’s got every single big decision right and really, that’s all people should be focused on the cost of living crisis, the war in Ukraine, and the big decisions that need to be made moving forward. We need our prime minister to be focused.”
