British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he has seen no evidence of blackmail in his party after claims by one of his own MPs.
William Wragg - who has called for the Prime Minister to resign following parties at Number 10 - said suspected plotters have been threatened with bad publicity and cuts to constituency funding.
He has advised colleagues who feel threatened to go to the police.
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner called the claims shocking and Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey accused Mr. Johnson of acting more like a mafia boss than a prime minister.
Mr. Johnson is facing down an attempt from some Tory MPs to oust him as leader following lockdown parties held in Downing Street.
He has called for potential rebels to wait for the outcome of civil servant Sue Gray's inquiry into the parties, expected next week, before passing judgment on him.
