Labour MP alleges bullying during fracking vote
When asked about allegations made by MPs, Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told Sky News to "characterise it as bullying was mistaken".
He said MPs should be able to vote "without fear or favour", saying "we want to stand up against bullying".Tory whips ordered their MPs to vote against the motion or face being suspended, telling them it was a test of confidence in Ms Truss. Labour shadow minister Anna McMorrin wrote on Twitter that she witnessed one Conservative MP "in tears" in the lobby after the vote.
"I've just witnessed one Tory member in tears being manhandled into the lobby to vote against our motion to continue the ban on fracking."
