Boris Johnson has been blasted by a Church of England official and a top Tory has been confronted by the BBC over the PM’s “disgraceful slur” on the two organisations in a private Tory meeting.
The Church hit out today after a source claimed the "bullish" Prime Minister hit back at "criticism on the BBC and from senior members of the clergy” of his plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
And a BBC presenter accused the PM of a “smokescreen”, “attacking the people he really ought not to be” to deflect from Partygate.
