A lawmaker from Britain's governing Conservatives accused the government on Thursday of blackmailing opponents of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as the party's internal rifts over its beleaguered leader deepened.

William Wragg, a Conservative member of Parliament, said legislators calling for a challenge to Johnson's leadership have faced "intimidation," and urged them to contact the police.

"I've seen no evidence to support any of those allegations," he said, though he added that he would "of course" look into it. He said the threat of "holding back regeneration of a town for a vote" had made him start to "question my place" in the Conservative Party, Senior civil servant Sue Gray is investigating claims that government staff held late-night soirees, boozy parties and "wine time Fridays" while Britain was under coronavirus restrictions in 2020 and 2021.

But David Davis, a former Cabinet minister who in Parliament on Wednesday dramatically urged Johnson to "In the name of God, go," said any reprieve was likely temporary.
