Almost 10 weeks to the day the ex-Culture Secretary announced she was stepping down with "immediate effect", mystery still surrounds when she will formally resign. Even a town council in the constituency of Mid Bedfordshire has written to the MP urging her to step down, saying residents were "desperately in need of effective representation now". Now over 75,000 have signed a petition - which describes the MP as "missing in action" - on the campaigning website 38Degress calling for Ms Dorries to "shape up or ship out". It states: "Your constituents, local council, the Prime Minister and now the public have all had enough. Either start representing the people of Mid Bedfordshire or stand down with immediate effect, so they can have the representation they deserve." Ms Dorries - a close ally of disgraced former Prime Minister Boris Johnson - has not spoken in the Commons for longer than a year. Her last contribution was on July 7 last year, which was the day Mr Johnson announced he would resign as PM. Away from Parliament Ms Dorries hosts a weekly TalkTV chat show and is working on a book on the "political assassination" of Mr Johnson - due to be published days before the Tory conference. Veronica Hawking, Head of Campaigns at 38 Degrees, said: "The 75,000 signatures on our petition represent a clear message from the British public to Nadine Dorries: we're paying you for this job, and we expect you to do it." Last week Tory minister John Glen urged Ms Dorries to "get on with it" and resign, describing the delay as "deeply frustrating". He added: 'People are bewildered. She made a decision, she said she was going to resign immediately and then she hasn't done.){kind=link}
