While he wasn't best pleased about the situation - as made clear by his resignation speech - it certainly wasn't a coup, which is defined as "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government." Asked on Sky News by Kay Burley how much she "blames" Rishi Sunak for the fall of the bumbling PM a few short weeks ago, she said it was a "coup" - it wasn't.

"I don't think we've had a sense of occasion, particularly a sense of sporting occasion, like this since the 2012 Olympics. It's amazing for Birmingham, and for the West Midlands, and for sport itself. "It's a great day and it's exciting." The UK Secretary of State for Sport told BBC News: "We've not had a sense of sporting occasion like this since the 2012 Olympics".

BBC BREAKFAST fans were left less than impressed with Nadine Dorries' interview on Thursday morning, with many describing her chat with BBC's Charlie Stayt ...

Her answer to the obesity Q was also incredibly bad.” She is unable to accept any mistakes. She was just inept!” However, both Stayt’s line of questioning and Dorries’ attempts to seemingly dodge the probes left BBC viewers rather irked. While Martin Dunne suggested: “The more I see of @NadineDorries standing up for Liz Truss (and facing Charlie Stayt down on @BBCBreakfast today ) the more I believe she is one of our best MPs. She is fluent and clear thinking and says what she thinks.” (sic) “We have a leadership race going on at the moment and a lot of people’s observations at the moment is that it is far from positive,” Stayt put to Dorries.

She also said she is "completely committed" to her plan for Northern Powerhouse Rail and would fix the Treasury's funding formula to make sure the north of England gets a "fairer share" of resources. The culture secretary added that she is supporting Ms Truss because she has "both integrity and loyalty and is able to pick up the baton" and "hit the ground running" as PM. She added that she was "very disappointed" and thought it was a "huge mistake" for Mr Johnson to be ousted as prime minister.

Ms Dorries later said: ‘Eventful start to the media round today but so glad to be here in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games and to see the amazing impact the Government’s £600 million investment has had on the city and region. The Conservative MP appeared to be looking around for security to intervene, insisting again that ‘the cameraman did not touch him’ before asking if she should move away. She then told the presenter in the studio: ‘The cameraman’s in a bit of trouble.’

The culture secretary abandoned the Sky interview and told presenter Kay Burley: "I think the cameraman is in a bit of trouble."

She added: “I don’t want to talk about the leadership. The Commonwealth Games kick off today in Birmingham and will go until Monday August 8. For me the next few days I’m not about leadership.” “Are you saying we shouldn’t have the Commonwealth Games? I think we are proud and honoured to have picked up the baton when it was dropped elsewhere in the world and to continue to run these Commonwealth Games in the amazing way that we have done. He can’t, I’ll have him arrested in five seconds flat.” The culture secretary said she believed Truss was the right candidate to “pick up the baton” from Johnson, who she said had been brought down by a “coup”.

With the government on its knees after the defenestration of Mr Johnson over the Chris Pincher affair and the Conservative leadership candidates at each other’s throats over who was the greater Brexiteer and Thatcherite, Ms Dorries was again at the centre of attention in the Commons for her boorish heckling of the opposition leader.
