Conservative UK lawmaker resigns, accuses PM Sunak of endangering her safety

UK Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has formally resigned from her position and launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in her resignation letter, accusing him of leading a "zombie parliament" and lacking political vision. Dorries, a close ally of former leader Boris Johnson, criticized Sunak for holding the office of prime minister without a mandate from the people and squandering the nation's goodwill. The by-election to replace Dorries is expected to take place in the autumn, providing another test of the Conservatives' popularity as they trail behind the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls.
