I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

Such a surprise as I'm sure the previous investigation that found he hadn't breached the code of conduct in 2017

Looks like the HoC are finally getting tough on some of the alleged sickening, disgusting acts being regularly performed on sofas in Parliament:-

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... rty-review

The important thing is to always keep your priorities in order.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

So if an MP is a new mother, she should choose between contributing to debates or looking after her new baby.

Not because she couldn't do the job but because it's inappropriate.

Unlike a culture of drinking and sexual assault.

And of course the accusation in 2017 involved possible date rape drugs

The pair then took a cab south of the Thames, with Mr Pincher claiming he had to go home quickly. There, he poured Mr Story a whisky.

Mr Story wrote: "I suddenly felt a bit woozy, and was sitting on the left side of the couch, leaning on the armrest, as he became unusually tactile. He then started untucking the back of my shirt, massaging my neck and whispered, ‘You’ll go far in the Conservative Party'."

Kay Burley does not look happy having been lied to by Dominic Raab a few minutes beforehand

So Raab is basically saying - yeah, he did it but we let him get away with it. He's a lawyer.

The Met Police have, at last, admitted they did not send questionnaires to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, before deciding not to fine him for attending a gathering in No.10 on 13 November 2020 or a gathering in the Cabinet Office on 17 December 2020.

Yes, but how many of us can honestly say that we haven’t danced appallingly while drunk at a Christmas party?

I’ve done it. Many times.

I’m speaking from the perspective of a competitive swing dancer.
