Tory MP Nadine Dorries has branded George Osborne "stupid" and accused him of lying about her.
She said the Chancellor was out of his depth and a "pernicious influence" on the economy and David Cameron.
Ms Dorries said in a web interview there was a "personal element" to some of her criticisms after the Prime Minister jibed that she was "extremely frustrated" in the Commons last year.
