Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has said she hasn’t spoken with anyone in her constituency who is angry with the Prime Minister over partygate – insisting they are getting in touch with her to thank him.

Ms Dorries, who represents constituents in Shefford, Henlow, Lower Stondon, Meppershall, Shillington and Clifton as part of her Mid Beds seat was interviewed by Sky News’ Sarah-Jane Mee this afternoon.

The MP - who is also the government culture secretary - didn’t falter in her support for Boris Johnson, and backed his apology for attending a Downing Street ‘Bring your own booze’ gathering on May 20, 2020, during the first national lockdown.

She said when the event in question happened people in Downing Street “had been working very hard” and and when pressed on whether what happened was wrong, she said she was “waiting on the outcome of the inquiry” by “formidable” civil servant Sue Gray.

Broadcaster Sarah-Jane then asked the Conservative MP whether she had received emails from residents in her constituency angry at the PM over partygate – like the ones many other MPs have been getting.

Ms Dorries said she had received emails thanking Mr Johnson for his work on the booster vaccine programme, and on saving jobs.

"They know what they have to thank the Prime Minister for,” she said.

She said she has spoken to constituents who are happy with and are thanking the PM - insisting she hadn't seen any emails from constituents angry at Boris Johnson.

“None are angry” she said.

“They judge the PM on his exemplary record.”
