JD Vance has mocked Rory Stewart for having an IQ of 110 and “false arrogance” after a spat with the former Tory MP.

Mr Stewart, the former cabinet minister and host of podcast The Rest Is Politics, hit out at Mr Vance after the US vice-president discussed religion in a recent interview.

Mr Vance told Fox News of the “Christian concept” of an order of love that comes before prioritising the “rest of the world”.

“There is a Christian concept that you love your family and then you love your neighbour, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritise the rest of the world,” he said.

Mr Vance added that this concept had been “inverted” by the far-Left.
