A Labour MP said he saw "utterly desperate" Tory MPs "crying on my shoulder" following yesterday's Commons' chaos.
Chris Bryant, MP for Rhondda and chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, made the extraordinary claims on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. The MP of 21 years said he'd never seen scenes like the ones that unfolded ahead of the fracking vote in the House of Commons yesterday evening.
In extraordinary scenes at Westminster, Cabinet ministers Therese Coffey and Jacob Rees-Mogg were among a group of senior Conservatives accused of pressuring colleagues to go into the "no" lobby, with Mr Bryant saying some MPs had been "physically manhandled". The chaotic scenes followed Prime Minister Liz Truss's shambolic Prime Minister's Questions appearance - and Home Secretary Suella Braverman's extraordinary resignation.
