confidence – Tory Government

Tory MPs are told to vote No to the Labour motion to ban fracking or face serious consequences.

Do the Tories now have to bully their own members into doing what the most recent PM wants despite a manifesto pledge to do the exact opposite?

NEW: Message to Tory MPs from deputy chief whip Craig Whittaker declares that this afternoon's vote on fracking (Labour want to ban it for good) is "a confidence motion in the Government".

Lots of Tory MPs are opposed to fracking in their areas.
