Labour and the Lib Dems reckon they have a good chance of snapping up Nadine Dorries' Mid Bedfordshire seat in a by-election triggered by her exit - 11 WEEKS after she vowed to go.
The Conservative former culture secretary has finally handed in her resignation, leaving Prime Minister Rishi Sunak facing another potentially damaging electoral test this autumn as his party languishes in the national polls.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said he is “increasingly confident we have a really good chance” of overturning Ms Dorries’ huge 25,000 majority in the constituency.
He is hoping his party can pull off another shock victory after recently flipping a 19,000 blue majority in Somerton and Frome.
