‘We’re watching you!’ – Grassroot Tories pile pressure on MPs to back Boris in vote
Daily Express says Tory MPs are set to be put under huge pressure to vote against the Privileges Committee report into Boris Johnson thanks to a weekend grassroots campaign set up by his supporters.
With MPs set to vote on the Privileges Committee report which claims he deliberately misled Parliament on Monday, many Conservative MPs were planning on staying away.
But with supporters agreeing with Mr Johnson’s assessment that the committee was “a kangaroo court”, the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO), a grassroots organisation set up in the wake of the coups to remove Mr Johnson and Liz Truss as leaders, has handed members the chance to make their feelings known.
The CDO was set up by former MEP David Campbell Bannerman with the support of Lord Cruddas and has been supported and fronted by former Home Secretary Priti Patel.
