Double standards of the Tory traitors
THE double standards of the plotters trying to bring down Boris Johnson over boozy No10 parties was exposed last night.
Tory turncoat Christian Wakeford – who defected to Labour yesterday after months of attacking Keir Starmer’s party – was branded ‘Christian Wineford’ over his drinking.
And Dehenna Davison, who has been blamed for stirring up discontent among the 2019 intake of backbench Tory MPs, was accused of ‘often being on the whisky and Coke in the afternoons’.
She was accused of having a mini-bar in her office, a claim rejected by Miss Davison who said her workplace was so small she didn’t ‘even have a filing cabinet’.
A Tory source last night denounced Mr Wakeford and Miss Davison, saying: ‘Their hypocrisy is staggering.’
In his letter to the Prime Minister yesterday, informing him of his decision to quit the Tories, Mr Wakeford blamed the ‘disgraceful way you have conducted yourself in recent weeks’.
But the party yesterday hit back with a series of astonishing claims about the 37-year-old Bury South MP. The Manchester Young Conservatives claimed he vomited from drinking too much tequila at a lockdown-busting party.
The group tweeted a photograph of Mr Wakeford holding a bottle of red wine while allegedly attending a house party last June.
‘He drank so much tequila he chundered. Glass houses and that,’ the post read. Mr Wakeford hit the headlines last November after he swore at Owen Paterson after Tory MPs were instructed to
‘She feels she should be a minister’
help block his suspension from the Commons for breaking lobbying rules.
The MP blamed a ‘mixture of quite a lot of anger and codeine’ for the incident when he called the former minister a ‘c***’. ‘I clearly have a broken ankle at the moment, it’s not the best mix,’ he told Times Radio.
Tory sources last night claimed the injury had been sustained after he fell down steps after drinking.
They also pointed to how Mr Wakeford – who has a tiny 402 majority – was one of five MPs accused of getting drunk on a three-day trip to Gibraltar that coincided with Armistice Day.
A Tory source last night branded him ‘Christian Wineford’. They added: ‘He got trashed on that Gibraltar trip. He’s a big boozer – he’s got that rep (reputation)’ – a claim denied at the time by the Conservative Party. It was also claimed Mr Wakeford had attended boozy gatherings in Miss Davison’s Commons office.
‘Dehenna regularly has fellow Red Wall MPs and aides in her Commons office where the booze flows with loud music and singing,’ a source said.
‘It is rich for people who do that to to bring down a PM for drinks parties.’ The 28-year-old, who presents a TV show with Nigel Farage, has been identified as a rebel ringleader with party sources accusing her of ‘madly whipping up the Red Wallers’.
She took the Red Wall seat of Bishop Auckland at the 2019 election – the first time the Tories had
try won there in almost a century. Her campaign was helped by a visit from PM’s wife and former friend Carrie Johnson.
Mrs Johnson’s best friend Nimco Ali yesterday tweeted: ‘I honestly can’t believe the audacity of Dehenna Davison. Girl get a grip.’ A senior Tory MP said yesterday of Miss Davison and Mrs Johnson: ‘They were big mates. Carrie saw her as the golden girl.
‘Dehenna’s dog Carter had been on doggy play dates with Dilyn.’ They added: ‘Dehenna is frustrated – she feels as if she should be a minister.’ One senior Tory MP said of Miss Davison and her fellow alleged 2019 intake colleagues: ‘They need to take the implications of changing your PM a lot more seriously than they do.
‘This isn’t like changing your brand of iPod, or your trainers. It’s a significant move for the party and the people of this country. We’re in danger of letting someone into government who backed Corbyn to the hilt. It would be a heart-wrenching decision for me to put in a letter – and I’m no fan of the PM. But it’s not alright to have all this **** ed up by a lot of kids.’
He added: ‘Many of the 2019ers think they have a big personal vote. We know there is no such thing. Doesn’t matter how good you are as an MP, if the electorate is against you, your leader and your party, you are gone.’
