Sophy Ridge tells Tory MP that she doesn’t understand her answers to questions about Chris Pincher

Sophy Ridge told work and pensions secretary Therese Coffey that she "didn't understand her answers" when the minister was pressed on whether Boris Johnson knew about sexual misconduct allegations about Chris Pincher before appointing him as deputy chief whip.
