Tory MP and Brexiteer Andrea Jenkyns has been left red-faced after she was asked to answer what should have been a simple question about WTO rules during an appearance on BBC Politics Live.

As an advocate of the so-called WTO rules, Jenkyns was asked by host Jo Coburn to name other countries that operated purely on those trading rules. Her answer wasn't exactly clear or right. For me, I see a global Britain. Unlike remainers, my borders are not the EU.This forced Labour MEP Seb Dance to step-in and correct Jenkyns for her inaccurate statement.
