PM Theresa May has vowed to take action over allegations made in “dirty dossier”.
Theresa May has promised to sack political “sex pests” amid reports that 36 Tory MPs – including two serving Cabinet ministers – are accused of
36 Mp’s have been implicated in a “dirty dossier” sex harassment claims that is rocking Parliament. The dossier highlights widespread harassment and inappropriate behaviour in Parliament.
The dossier, put together by a group of Westminster researchers, titled “High-libido MPs” – details troubling allegations about ministers and over 20 backbench Conservatives, going back five years.
At least two of the accused MPs are alleged to have impregnated their mistresses, another two used prostitutes, and one agreed a “non-disclosure settlement” with the researcher of an MP.
Political blogger Guido Fawkes, who published a redacted version of the spreadsheet, says two serving Cabinet ministers and 18 serving ministers are accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour, with their names set alongside accusations such as “perpetually intoxicated and very inappropriate with women”.
The revelation of the dossier follows the admission by International Trade Minister, Mark Garnier in the Mail on Sunday that he referred to his secretary as “sugar t*ts” and compelled her to by sex toys for him.
LETTER
Theresa May has written a letter to Commons Speaker ,John Bercow, calling for new procedures to support parliamentary staff”, acording to Politico writer, JackBlanchard.
May has urged Bercow to establish an independent mediation service for staff who wish to complain about the behaviour of MPs’ behaviour, and enforce agrievance procedure that is currently voluntary. The Whipps also have a ”dirt book”, containing dirty secrets that can be used to blackmail Mp’s to vote in a certain way unless they want their dirty secrets exposed to their wives. News of sexual harassment in Parliament is shocking and disappointing, it shows that those who make our laws are lacking in moral standards themselves. The British public are waiting for the names of those accused to be published, but it is likely to be hidden from us by those in power, determined to ensure it never comes to public light. Mp’s should be spending their time working out how to improve the country, and putting their heads together to solve the Brexit deadlock that has dogged talks between the UK and the EU.
They should also be looking after their wives and families, instead of making unwanted advances to other women, most of whom must have partners. We must be clear here that sexual harassment goes beyond just making advances, but extends to perpetual advances, or sexual comments that are unacceptable, especially for men in such high standing. With the prime minister being a woman, a strong one at that, we must trust Theresa May to take a tough stand on this issue, and flog it thoroughly, by holding offending men to account. The threat of blackmail is a very worrying aspect of this whole scandal, because it means the country cannot always trust the votes cast by Mp’s to be genuine and without blackmail. Theresa May has threatened to sack offending Mps , and we must hold her to her word that any Mps who are sex pest must be dealt with ruthlessly, until they realise the seriousness of their unacceptable offences.
