Reform UK leader and GB News host Richard Tice warned newly-appointed Tory Deputy Chair Jonathan Gullis that he should “pipe down” with his critique on the party due to “embarrassing personal information” they had on him.
The Easter weekend war of words began with Gullis’ comments in a Mail on Sunday article spotlighting some of Reform UK’s political candidates. The article claimed that “the potential MPs include a convicted animal abuser and a fortune-teller who sold spells for £200 on the pornography-dominated site OnlyFans.” Gullis, quoted in the piece, said: “We can only assume this cast of characters passed Mr Tice’s muster. We are clearly not just talking about a ‘few rotten eggs’ here.” He added: “If you are promoting candidates banned from looking after dogs, how can you honestly say they are capable of looking after the interests of their candidates?”
Tice criticized the article as a “Tory hatchet job” and accused the Mail on Sunday of being the “Tory Party’s lapdog newspaper” – pointing out the newspaper's failure to address the behavior of the Conservative Party’s own MPs.
In a response to Gullis, Tice issued a warning that his party had compromising and “embarrassing personal information” on the deputy chair, and that he should “pipe down” in his “attacks” on the party.
Gullis has not yet responded to the tweet, but users were alarmed by the open threat of “blackmail.” https://x.com/supertanskiii/status/1774422198284947701?s=20 In response,
Laughable how Tory Party’s lapdog newspaper, Mail on Sunday, ignores the multiple sexual offences of Tory MPs and candidates, as well as the vile abuse from Welsh Tory MS#hypocrisy

Given the multiple bits of embarrassing personal information we have on you, I suggest you pipe down on your attacks against me.
