Liz Truss launched a blistering attack on Nicola Sturgeon - branding her an "attention seeker" and saying the best way of dealing with her is to "ignore her".
The Foreign Secretary made the undiplomatic remarks at a hustings event in Exeter, where she and Rishi Sunak were grilled by Tory party members.
Meanwhile Mr Sunak was once again accused of disloyalty to Boris Johnson - which he denied, but added: "The government was on the wrong side of a very serious ethical problem."
