After Tory Christian Wakeford's sensational defection to Labour, voters in his Bury South seat expressed fury at Boris Johnson and his party.
Mr Wakeford quit the party in protest at the Prime Minister - and revealed that he had previously been threatened about the loss of a school in his constituency if he did not vote with the Government on free school meals.
His comments came as senior Tory William Wragg claimed rebels had been intimidated by party enforcers into toeing the party line.
