Police are set to meet a Greater Manchester MP to discuss allegations of Tory MPs being blackmailed, The Telegraph is reporting.
William Wragg, MP for Hazel Grove, made a statement yesterday at a meeting of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee - which he chairs - alleging that critics considering triggering a no-confidence vote in the Prime Minister were receiving threats to “withdraw investments” from constituencies, as well as “intimidation” from No 10 staff.
He said these threats could amount to “blackmail” and urged colleagues to report them to the police.
