Farewell then Nadine Dorries, who announced today that she is standing down as an MP with immediate effect.

First of all she said it was time for ‘someone younger’ to take over, before presumably deciding that was a bad look and swapped it for ‘another’.

Dorries hit the exit button on the same day it was reported she was no longer heading to the House of Lords courtesy of Boris Johnson’s honours list.

Her resignation, which will spark a by-election, came just hours after she told Talk TV that the last thing she wanted to do was trigger a by-election.

The former culture secretary will leave a hole almost impossible to see – only kidding, Nads! – and what better way to say farewell than with this collection of 21 facepalms and foul-ups.
