NADINE Dorries launched an attack on Boris rival Jeremy Hunt who said he was “voting for change”.
The Culture Secretary claimed that the former health secretary wanted Covid patients “removed from homes placed into isolation hotels” in 2020.
She added his handling of the pandemic would have been a disaster.
Mr Hunt said he would run for prime minister for a second time, having come second to Boris in 2019.

She added: “Your duplicity right now in destabilising the party and country to serve your own personal ambition, more so.
