A senior Tory MP has accused Boris Johnson’s lackeys of using blackmail and intimidation in an attempt to shore up the struggling Prime Minister.
William Wragg called on rebel Tories to go to the police over alleged threats from government whips that funding would be withdrawn from their constituencies if they moved against the Prime Minister by signing letters of no-confidence in Johnson.
Wragg, chairman of the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, spoke out against the tactics employed by government whips as splits and tensions in the Tory ranks over Johnson surfaced again.
