The Tory implosion  would be hilarious if (a) we weren't in the middle of negotiating Brexit and (b) the alternative wasn't comrade Jezza

Well, today has seen the resignation of the defence secretary over largely undisclosed allegations of sexual misconduct, so we might be heading for a Tory implosion over the next few months.

Also wasn't there a UK political crisis thread, but I couldn't find it.  :hmm:

What's that? The "who's a naughty boy" list of the Tory party?

Yes, though it includes people who had affairs while married / married the people they had said affairs with (or as it lists for Amber Rudd that she had a workplace relationship!).
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Richard Hakluyt

Alun Cairns appears to be on the list for being gay.

Tory politician commits sexual harassment - nothing to see here, move along
Labour politician commits sexual harassment - this is thoroughly unacceptable and there will be a full investigation.

Corbyn is old and is sticking to the party consensus. Given labours last manifesto I'm not concerned about Corbyn even though he himself is a dinosaur.
Plus, get rid of the tories and maybe the lib dems can step up as a viable opposition again. Liberal economic policy but not evil.

I thought this list was a "MPs who were inappropriate" how can you  make that list for being gay?

It is a tittle-tattle list, all the MPs on it are Tories for example; so it also caters for homophobes and the generally prurient.

I really wonder what "being inappropriate" means in this context.  :hmm:

Actually that particular guy doesn't have anything in his file about being inappropriate.  :P

Apparently having grabby hands is not part of it, as that seems to be a separate offence.  :lol:

Fallon supposedly out over lewd comments to Leadsom.
