Read our privacy policy A prominent Tory backbencher has written to the party’s Chief Whip to demand that George Osborne is banned from next month’s Conservative Party conference. Nadine Dorries, the Mid Bedfordshire MP and a fierce critic of Mr Osborne, said his conference pass should be revoked over comments he is said to have made about Theresa May. The former Chancellor and now London Evening Standard editor reportedly told colleagues that he will not rest until Ms May “is chopped up in bags in my freezer”. Writing on Twitter, Ms Dorries said: “I have contacted Chief Whip and asked that Osborne's conference pass be withdrawn for expressing a desire to see a woman, the PM, murdered.” The MP, who has previously described Mr Osborne and former Prime Minister David Cameron as “arrogant posh boys”, also suggested that the former Chancellor should seek psychological help.
