Nadine Dorries incorrectly says UK is 'at war with Ukraine'

Government minister Nadine Dorries has incorrectly told Sky News’ Beth Rigby that the UK is “at war with Ukraine”.

The Culture Secretary was defending the prime minister as he faces a no-confidence vote from Tory MPs.

A staunch supporter of the Boris Johnson, Ms Dorries was criticising former Conservative cabinet minister Jeremy Hunt, who today urged his party to "vote for change".

Dorries claimed the "potential leadership candidate" was wrong to say he would not issue a leadership challenge "while we’re at war with Ukraine", then later issue that challenge.
