ROBIN Walker MP has said Prime Minister Liz Truss was "undermining" her own whips based on the scenes from yesterday at the House of Commons.

Cabinet ministers Therese Coffey and Jacob Rees-Mogg are among a group of senior Tories accused of bullying Conservative MPs into voting against a Labour motion on fracking.

Amid extraordinary scenes at Westminster, one Tory MP was “physically manhandled” into the “no” lobby to ensure he opposed the motion, according to opposition MPs.

Mr Walker said:"I feel like the whipping was very poorly handled and it seems as if the work being carried out by the whips was being undermined by the Prime Minister herself.

"She now has a very limited window to put matters right and there is lots of concern. It was not a good day for her and her team at all. 

"Losing a Home Secretary and a Chancellor in such a short space of time is proof things are not going well."

The chaos erupted shortly before the vote at 7pm, after climate minister Graham Stuart announced in the Commons chamber that, contrary to what MPs had been told earlier, it was not being treated as a vote of confidence in the Government of Liz Truss.

Until that point, Tory MPs had been on notice that they would have the whip withdrawn and would be expelled from the parliamentary party if they failed to support the Government.

Mr Walker also emphasised how he did not back Liz Truss as Prime Minister, to begin with.

He said: "I did not support Liz Truss for Prime Minister in the first place, but I think it is crucially important now for the party to pull together and not divide into factions."

MPs rejected the Labour motion that would ensure parliamentary time for a bill to ban fracking.

323 out of the total 357 Conservative MPs voted against Labour's motion.

Robin Walker, MP for Worcester, Nigel Huddleston, MP for Mid-Worcestershire, and Harriet Baldwin, MP for West-Worcestershire, voted against the bill.

While only a handful of Tory MPs have publicly called for Ms Truss to quit, there is speculation that dozens have submitted letters of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee.
