Whether he was caught by a sting or not. he was indulging in behaviour that most people consider reprehensible and disgusting and inappropriate for an MP.

I have never bought into the 'he was just unlucky to be caught' excuse.

The Tories seem to be trying to blame "hostile powers" for this sting:

In an interview in the Daily Telegraph today, Norman Tebbitt is very critical of the quality of the current generation of Conservative MPs, in it for what they can get out of it rather than to serve their country.

Whatever one might say about Norman Tebbitt, he was always a man of strict probity and it is clear he finds these new people as distasteful as everybody else.

Another fine, upstanding Tory. David Warburton has been suspended. Cocaine, sexual abuse. Russian money. Just out in The Times. Jo Maugham has the story on Twitter.
