Not really. I don't think these people have done anything that compares with those in government at the moment. I admit it's difficult for them to destroy democracy and that, by comparison, it's easy for Johnson et al. However, this list would bring us nowhere near the current Tory swamp.

Does that answer your question DaisyAnne, paddyann54, MayBee70? Labour have been just as unscrupulous as the Tories when in power. Just stating the facts here.

Ah. I see our blinkered friends here do not read, or want to, about the likes of Claudia Webbe, Layla Moran, Fiona Onasanya, Keith Vaz… the list goes on. It’s not just the Tories that have their fair share of less than honourable members. And let’s not forget that Cable, Swinson and Davies all have some responsibility for the dreadful Post Office scandal.

Whilst not disputing any other allegations, which do need further investigation, this allegation from the report puzzled me:

The woman, who is not named, alleged that he would also not leave her home, and stripped naked before climbing into her bed and groping her breasts

Would you go to your bed when there was a man in your house who refused to leave?
I don't know about anyone else but I certainly wouldn't.

Allegations from three women, two of whom were former aides who couldn't go through the normal complaints procedure as Warburton had employed his wife as his secretary and she was responsible for HR matters.

Also, and not in the DM article, Warburton borrowed £100,000 from a Russian businessman called Joukovski,. He borrowed the money via an offshore entity as he knew Joukovski was not considered a 'fit and proper person' by the Financial Conduct Authority. In return for the loan the MP set up meetings for the Russian with MPs including Jacob Rees Mogg.

Is this sort of behaviour from Tory MPs just par for the course these days?
