Tories endorse Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss in leadership race

Breaking News - Ministers have criticised Nadine Dorries for sharing a doctored image of Rishi Sunak wielding a knife behind Boris Johnson's back.

The culture secretary retweeted an image of the PM depicted as Julius Caesar about to be stabbed in the back by Mr Sunak, in the role of Brutus.

Greg Hands said it was "dangerous", while Sir Robert Buckland said it was "not just incendiary - it's wrong".

An ally of Ms Dorries said it was "obviously a satirical image".

Shortly before sharing the picture that was posted by another account on Twitter, Ms Dorries also wrote that Mr Sunak had "stabbed Boris Johnson in the back".

John Glen, the MP for Salisbury said Ms Dorries maintains the right to express her support for Liz Truss however she deems fit but added he wouldn't have retweeted that tweet.
