Cabinet Minister Nadine Dorries has admitted Tory preparations for the pandemic were "inadequate" as she tried to attack a top critic of Boris Johnson.

Tory tensions boiled over after 1922 Committee chief Sir Graham Brady confirmed that a vote of no confidence would be held tonight, which could topple Mr Johnson.
