The two parties ruled out any election pact as they look to contest the vacated Mid Bedfordshire seat.Government minister Johnny Mercer dismissed her scathing criticism, but said she was "entitled to that view". He told reporters on Sunday that he looked forward to the by-election campaign, but the Conservative Party would have to "work hard to get" constituents' votes, adding: "We've got work to do but we've got a good candidate."
Labour's Anneliese Dodds said Ms Dorries' resignation was "a real relief for the people of Mid Bedfordshire" and that Labour was in "pole position" for the seat, despite not winning there before.
