our political correspondent helen catt told me that the resignation letter attacking the prime ministerme as much of a shock. it is unsurprising in a sense, in that we knew these are the views that nadine dorries held. she was a very, very close ally of the former prime minister borisjohnson, and her reason for not standing down until now has been that she wanted to find out more about why she hadn't got a peerage that she had been perhaps promised by borisjohnson, and it has been pretty clear over the summer that she laid the blame for that at rishi sunak�*s door. i think what's surprising about her letter, though, is quite how personal it is and how she also accuses him of having been behind whipping up what she sees as a frenzy against her over the summer. so it's quite strong language. how representative is she of parts of the conservative party? how much of a problem is this for the prime minister? well, it's always a problem when you've got a formerly senior member of your party attacking you in public. it looks like you have a divided party. and certainly that's something the lea

our political corresepondent helen catt told me that the resignation letter attacking the prime ministerit's always a problem when you've got a formerly senior member of your party attacking you in public. it looks like you have a divided party. and certainly that's something the leader of the liberal democrats this morning has been seizing on in his broadcast interviews, he has been talking about it showing division within the party. quite how representative she is of the party as a whole, i think is debatable. as i said, she was very closely tied to borisjohnson, the former prime minister, and those who supported him within the party. so i think to that extent, she reflects some of the anger that came off the back of him stepping down as prime minister, two prime ministers ago now. so there is that, but is it an indication of broader discontent within the party? i think we should be a bit wary of seeing it as that so much. i mean, certainly it seemed before they all broke up for the summer recess that mps had started to be starting to pull behind rishi sunak and that will be increasing
