Tory chair Feldman faces new quit call over bullies
Party activist says peer knew of abuse allegation 5 years earlier than he claimed

TORY chairman Lord Andrew Feldman faced renewed pressure to resign yesterday over claims the party covered up evidence of bullying, blackmail and sexual abuse in its youth section.

Ray Johnson, the father of Elliott Johnson, the 21-year-old Tory activist who killed himself in September after alleged bullying in the party, made the accusation after new evidence emerged suggesting that Mr Feldman knew about bullying but failed to act.

A former Conservative youth activist told BBC 2’s Newsnight programme that a dossier detailing a culture of bullying within the party was presented to Mr Feldman in 2010.
