Tory leadership battle turns uglier as Dorries condemned for criticising Sunak
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries was told to “wind her neck in” by ministers

Ms Dorries discussed the cost of his clothes in an article she wrote in the Mail on Sunday.

She said that she may have gone too far when she previously compared the former chancellor’s £3,500 suit with £4.50 earrings worn by Liz Truss, who Ms Dorries is backing to be Prime Minister.
