From The Times

"Nadine Dorries has quit as a Conservative MP with “immediate effect” after being told she would not be elevated to the House of Lords in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list.

The former cabinet minister described her decision as a “relief” and said she had stayed on in the House of Commons after Johnson’s resignation as prime minister only because she hoped to be ennobled.

But her name was not on Johnson’s list of peers after it was vetoed, along with three other serving Tory MPs, by the independent House of Lords appointments commission (Holac).

The commission is understood to have made clear it could not approve serving MPs as it did not know when they would stand down to take up their seats in the Lords and any vetting could be out of date. As a result the commission struck their names from the list."
