The Conservative whip was suspended by Chris Pincher after an investigation into allegations that he had drunk and groped two men in a private membership club was initiated.
Boris Johnson succumbed to pressure after a MP complaint was filed with a MP guard dog investigating allegations of bullying, harassment, or sexual misconduct.
Mr. Pincher dramatically resigned as Tory leader on Wednesday night after being reportedly assaulting two guests at the Carlton Club, a Tory private member club in Piccadilly.
The prime minister resisted the call to go further and remove the whip. That is, Parliamentarians Tamworth would be in an independent position at the Commons, but action was taken after a formal complaint was filed in the Independent Complaints and Complaints Scheme (ICGS).
It’s a letter to Chief Whip, with Tory lawmakers Karen Bradley and Caroline Nokes (only two Conservative female chairs of the Special Committee) suggesting to Mr. Pincher that Tory’s whip should be removed. It was after I wrote it.
In a letter to Chris Heaton-Harris, they call for a “zero tolerance policy” on sexual misconduct following the Tories’ “inconsistent and unclear approach” to such cases.
A spokeswoman for the Conservative leader, Chris Heaton-Harris, said:
“We do not prejudice the investigation. We ask our colleagues and the media to respect the process.”
Following Christopher Pincher’s resignation, former housing minister Kelly Tolhurst has been appointed as the new Tories deputy leader, Downing Street.
Mr. Pincher is the latest Conservative member to draw unwanted attention to the party for his actions.
He resigned as a junior whip in November 2017 after he left the whip office after complaining that he had made an unnecessary pass in Alex Story, a former Olympic rower and conservative candidate. This is the second time.
After mentioning both police and Conservative complaints, he was brought back as Deputy Leader by Theresa May in January 2018.
Pincher’s resignation was in Westminster after a series of incidents involving former Wakefield Tory MP Imran Amado Khan, who was imprisoned for 18 months in May for groping for a 15-year-old boy in 2008. It is in the midst of a new scrutiny of the Threes.
Another MP, Neil Parish, left Tiberton and Honiton in May after being found watching pornography at the House of Commons.
He said he accidentally watched an adult video while browsing the tractor and then deliberately watched it in the Commons room.
The party’s secretary is now withdrawing from David Warburton, who represents Somerton and Fromm, after allegations of sexual harassment and cocaine use have surfaced.
The Sunday Times reported that two women had formally filed a formal complaint with Congress’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) about Mr. Warburton’s actions, and a third woman had also filed a complaint about his actions. ..
Mr. Warburton is said to deny cheating.
