Gary Lineker has mocked at Cabinet Minister Nadine Dorries for scoring an “own goal” in her scathing attack on Jeremy Hunt.
Former Health Secretary and Foreign Secretary Hunt announced on Monday that he would be voting against Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the upcoming vote of no confidence . Hunt said on Twitter that the Conservatives were “no longer trusted” by the public and were "not offering the integrity, competence and vision” following the Partygate scandal.
Dorries, who is the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and a firm Johnson loyalist, hit back in a Twitter thread of her own in which she lambasted Hunt’s efforts during the Covid pandemic. However, the Minister was widely ridiculed online for inadvertently admitting that Tory preparations for the pandemic were "inadequate".
