A row has broken out between Kemi Badenoch and David Lammy after the Conservative leader hit back at the Foreign Secretary’s criticism of her “disgraceful” comments about two Labour MPs who were denied entry to Israel.

Mrs Badenoch said it was “shocking” that “we have MPs in Labour who other countries will not allow” in, after Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were not permitted into the country on Saturday.
