Friday saw 2 Members of Parliament from the Conservative Party quit with immediate effect.
There was a resignation from Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister and former Mayor of London, who quit after being hounded out of the PM job and his MP job for eating cake.
This was followed by the resignation of Nadine Dorries, a former cabinet member and former nurse. She was planning to resign at the next election, but Boris Johnson quitting seems to have expedited things.
Rumours were swirling that there may be others about to quit in order to give coup PM Sunak the finger.
Very sad news for Britain. As PM @BorisJohnson delivered Brexit for the British people, and played a key role in shaping Britain’s future as a sovereign nation free of the shackles of the EU.
No doubt he will be back, fighting again for freedom.https://t.co/BqKHBt4R2N

I have today informed the chief whip that I am standing down as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire, with immediate effect.
It has been an honour to serve as the MP for such a wonderful constituency but it is now time for another to take the reins.— Rt Hon Nadine Dorries (@NadineDorries) June 9, 2023
BREAKING I am hearing rumours of a THIRD Tory MP loyal to Boris Johnson who might resign tonight.
