Sunak faces new by-election nightmare as senior Tory MP Chris Skidmore quits in net zero row
Rishi Sunak has been hit with another by-election as a senior Tory MP quits the party and his seat in protest over the PM’s climate failures.
Chris Skidmore – the former net zero tsar and former energy minister – has said he will resign the Conservative whip and stand down as an MP next week.
In a scathing exit statement he said he could no or “condone” the government because the PM’s environmental stance is “wrong and will cause future harm”.
