YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSky News has learnt that Tory staffers have come under pressure not to sign a letter calling for more stringent checks on election candidates.
The letter, organised by Angus McVean and Henry Dixon-Clegg, is addressed to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden and Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle and calls for changes to the ways in which parliamentary candidates are selected.
Sky News has seen exclusive evidence of staffers being pressured by CCHQ (Conservative Campaign Headquarters) not to sign the letter as it would put a "black mark" against their name.
