Nadine Dorries has hit back at an interview Kemi Badenoch has given The Times, accusing the business secretary of ‘obsessing slightly’ over her book The Plot.
The former MP and author shared a screenshot of a small part of the interview where Badenoch claims Dorries suggested she ought to be running for mayor of London rather than as an MP, leaving her livid and feeling that Dorries was putting her back in her “urban” box and setting a cap on her ambition.
Dorries claims in a further tweet that it was not her suggestion that Badenoch run for London mayor but a party donor who was involved in the interview process for Mayoral candidates.

I think it’s so important that our policing service reflects the diversity of our society that we have, so I wanted to be here and be part of wishing these new constables the very best in their journey.
I became first minister last Saturday. I said I would be a first minister for all and that includes these new constables who have graduated today. I also think it fulfils my commitment of being first minister for all.
When the invite came in for today, I wanted to be here because it is such an important time.
