Boris Johnson Partygate A senior Tory today warned Boris Johnson’s allies might be ‘blackmailing’ would-be rebels and urged them to call in the police – as the PM was given a temporary reprieve from the Partygate coup attempt.
William Wragg, chair of the Commons Public Administration Committee, said he had been told of ‘pressures and intimidation’ being used on politicians.
In an excoriating attack at the start of an evidence session, Mr Wragg suggested members of the government might have breached the ministerial code by threatening to pull investment from constituencies if people send in letters of no confidence.
‘Additionally reports to me and others of members of staff at No10 Downing Street, special advisers, government ministers and others encouraging the publication of stories in the press seeking to embarrass those they suspect of lacking confidence in the PM is similarly unacceptable,’ Mr Wragg said.
