Daniel Kawczynski says that three Currys employees told him to stay loyal to Boris Johnson when he went in to buy a vacuum cleaner recently.
Mr Pincher was suspended by the Conservatives last week after it was alleged he groped two men. Since then the Prime Minister has been forced to apologise for his handling of the row after it emerged he had forgotten about being told of previous allegations of “inappropriate” conduct as far back as 2019.
"I've never come across people coming up to me in an electrical store asking me to support any other Prime Minister that I've come across." After being asked if he was deflecting from the subject of Ms Clarke's resignation, the Shrewsbury MP replied:"I'm giving you a story that in my consistuency on Saturday when I was not performing my role as a Member of Parliament, but I happened to be in Currys in Shrewsbury buying a new vacuum cleaner, but people happened to recognise me as being the local MP, and they came up to me and they said 'please back Boris'. Now, that is the truth.
"These a good hard-working people who work in my constituency, voters, rather than a journalist or a radio commentator who is obviously trying to portray a negative image about the Prime Minister," Mr Kawczynski.
