The first suggestions that the Conservatives might review the future of Channel 4 came about in 2019 after they complained at Johnson being replaced with a melting ice sculpture of the Earth when he declined to take part in the leaders’ debate on climate.

So it would seem that the policy might have come about from higher up than Dorries initially, although as Johnson’s most devoted minister, I’m sure she was more than happy to champion it.
Either way, yes, it’s a relief that common sense has finally been seen.
