everybody is talking about reducing, i would like to see 20 teams, i would like to see shropshire ort mps calling for borisjohnson�*s resignation have been blackmailed by government whips. labour called for an inquiry after senior tory mp william wragg made the claims. earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent chris mason about how this all started. william wragg, conservative mp, chancellor of the select committees, used a committee meeting yesterday morning to settle allegations morning to set out allegations that he said he had heard from conservative colleagues, backbenchers, who felt they had been subject to blackmail and intimidation from party whips, the mps whose business it is to ensure that government business gets through the house of commons, in other words that conservative mps vote as borisjohnson wants them to do. it has opened up a big question about what is legitimate behaviour, as far as the whips are concerned, because, yes, it does involve persuasion, but at what point is persuasion regarded as inappropriate? we have heard since then from the formative conse

been handling covid over the past two years and if you look at the by—elections in the likes of shropshirely not the only one. i think that former conservative supporters like me who have left the party have done it for three reasons, the first is the whole approach to covid, it has not been what we voted for. it has not been what we voted for. it has not been what we voted for. it has not been a conservative approach. they have been spending money like water, accruing massive debt, a00 billion across the whole economy. they have been refusing to let people exercise their personal responsibility, which i thought they would have done and instead try to take away liberties. the downing street parties are just the icing on the cake. it is the rank hypocrisy of having spent two years telling people to stay at home whilst they were having a bring your own bottle parties. were having a bring your own bottle arties. . , , parties. that is the interesting oint, parties. that is the interesting point. clearly _ parties. that is the interesting point, clearly there _ parties. that is the interesting

and with this series of unforced errors, whether it is parties or wallpaper or the loss of north shropshiree really questioning their support now for the prime minister and for the government. so, i think doing things differently is certainly the best course of action. yeah, because i guess any group of mps at any particular time will ask whether their prime minister is an electoral asset or an electoral liability. obviously, the conservatives, in the last general election, under borisjohnson's leadership gained a huge majority. i don't know how much that might cushion him from what is happening right now, what are your thoughts on that? two years ago, there was a significant majority. he reached parts of the country that no conservative leader has ever had before. and that has put a lot of currency on him. he has been seen as electoral gold dust. and people do remember that. i think that will serve him well, for a while. however, when there's more allegations and a feeling of different rules for different people and when this translates at the ballot box... and if mps see — "we are not win
