Culture secretary’s post portraying Sunak wielding knife at Boris Johnson denounced in light of MPs’ murders
Conservative MPs have condemned “divisive, disingenuous and disturbing” interventions against Rishi Sunak by the culture secretary,Other Conservative ministers have condemned comments by Dorries, a supporter of, about Sunak’s dress sense, after she compared his Savile Row suit with Truss’ earrings from Claire’s.
The business minister Greg Hands said the picture was inappropriate, especially given the killing of the Southend West Tory MP“I’m sure Liz Truss would disown this kind of behaviour. I think this is appalling,” Hands told Sky News. “Look, it’s not even a year since the stabbing of Sir David Amess at his Southend constituency surgery, so I think this is very, very bad taste, dangerous even … I do find it distasteful.
The former Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis, a backer of Truss, said he did not think the foreign secretary would support the comments. He told Sky News: “It’s certainly not the sort of thing I would tweet … Nadine is well known as having strong views on things. Nadine speaks for herself, she’s very much an individual on that. But that is not a position that Liz would take.”
