Boris Johnson removed as prime minister because he didn’t eat a piece of cake, says Nadine Dorries

Boris Johnson was only removed as prime minister because he didn’t eat a piece of cake, Nadine Dorries has claimed.

The former Conservative MP was a guest on GB News on Sunday (14 April) to discuss her thoughts on Mr Johnson making a return to frontline politics.

Speaking to students in Washington, the former prime minister refused to rule out a political comeback amid ongoing speculation about his future.

Mr Johnson was forced out of Downing Street in 2022 following a series of scandals.

Ms Dorries said: “The only truthful reason why Boris Johnson was removed as prime minister was because he didn’t eat a piece of cake, that was brought to him at his desk for which he was given a fixed penalty notice for.”
