Ex-ministers Nadine Dorries and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg are among those heavily criticised by a Commons committee of waging a campaign to undermine its investigation into Boris Johnson.

The former prime minister quit as an MP after the Privileges Committee found he had deliberately misled Parliament over Covid breaches at No 10.

In a new report, the committee accused the allies of Mr Johnson of mounting "vociferous attacks" on the committee.

Other Tory MPs criticised in the report include Priti Patel and Lord Goldsmith, who is a serving minister.
