Johnson's Team Is Blackmailing Rebel MPs, Tory Says

Members of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's staff are intimidating and blackmailing fellow Conservative Party lawmakers, according to prominent party member William Wragg. "In recent days, a number of members of parliament have faced pressures and intimidation from members of the government because of their declared or assumed desire for a vote of confidence in the party leadership of the Prime Minister," Wragg said at a hearing Thursday. "Moreover, reports of which I'm aware would seem to constitute blackmail."
