The international trade minister also confirmed calling her "sugar tits," according to the Mail on Sunday, but he said it did not amount to harassment. The Cabinet Office will look at whether the Ministerial Code of Conduct has been breached.[/quote] [quote]Mr Garnier's former secretary, Caroline Edmondson, told the Mail on Sunday he had given her money to buy two vibrators at a Soho sex shop. Ms Edmondson, who has since left to work for another MP, was quoted as saying that on another occasion in a bar, in front of witnesses, he told her: "You are going nowhere, sugar tits." The Mail reported that Mr Garnier had admitted the claims, saying: "I'm not going to deny it, because I'm not going to be dishonest. I'm going to have to take it on the chin." Mr Garnier conceded that his actions could look like "dinosaur behaviour" in the current climate, but added: "It absolutely does not constitute harassment."[/quote]

What even possesses someone to ask their secretary to do this? It's just asking it come bite you back on the ass. If you're not smart enough to know professional boundaries, even if it's not seen as harassment (which i think the sugar tits comment clearly makes it), you shouldn't be a fucking international trade minister.

"Yeah I did it, but I don't consider it harassment" Oh, that's okay then, because you say so. I could really get behind this new 'Be your own judge' thing the Government seem to be advocating, it'll make the law very efficient.

At first I thought he was ashamed of getting himself the vibes but then he is just actually a douche nozzle.

maybe it's one of those smartphone-enabled vibrators and he let his secretary use the app [editline]29th October 2017[/editline] i wonder who the first person to get a vibrator buzz while in a political session is going to be, if it hasn't already happened

This is not how I wanted to Tories to lose their pseudo-majority... But it will do? Every cloud should have a silver lining!

He can go fuck himself for this behaviour.

[QUOTE=Bartabun;52834887]He can go fuck himself for this behaviour.[/QUOTE] he definitely has the tools now

Tip of the iceberg. This is expected to spiral in to something far bigger than the expenses scandal.

He could of literally bought all the dildos he wanted off of Amazon or something like that, have that shit delivered to his home, and no one would be the wiser. Why on earth would you believe that this was the best course of action? Unless he's banging the assistant too, still stupid though

the polls are buzzing

The supposed Tory whips [url=https://m.imgur.com/a/egSM9]dossier on known troublemakers is quite the thing.[/url] May's working majority would evaporate and then some if anything came of it.

How many MPs would it take for the supply and confidence of the DUP to crumble

It's not just the Tories [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41821671[/url] [quote]A Labour activist has revealed she was raped at a party event and that a senior Labour official discouraged her from reporting the attack. Bex Bailey said she was told reporting the 2011 incident could "damage" her and that she was given no advice on what she should do next. She told the BBC she had waived her anonymity to urge changes to the way such cases are handled. Labour said it had launched an independent investigation.[/quote]

Kinda knew it wouldn't be. If this shit goes deep it could trigger an election - Tory majority lost, Labour MPs being deselected also, it would be all over the place. Otherwise we will see a 'crunch Thursday' of many by-elections which, as predicted, will threaten the pseudo-majority. This just goes to show again how much May fucked up calling the snap election. How the hell is this country's Government to function if it depends on absolutely [i]nothing[/i] preventable or unpreventable going wrong during an extremely fraught 5-year Parliament? No chance. Absolutely no chance, and it's our economic and social future that depends on it because of fucking Brexit. Bad, bad times.

so apparently amber Rudd was named in this dossier, I don't like Amber Rudd but her, a single woman, having a workplace fling with another single person doesn't seem like it belongs in a dirty dossier.

[QUOTE=The Genie;52843849]The dossier itself is probably blackmail against those MPs so that they'll toe the line.[/QUOTE] Pretty sad if thats the case. It's considered acceptable for politicians to be hypocrites who misuse expenses but two single adult people having a bit of fun together is considered blackmail material
