Another week, another Tory MP sex scandal!

Probably because most of us have never heard of him but we're all aware of Angela-with-the-lovely-hair!

Oh well, another Tory creep exposed! I’m hoping Ms Rayner is “innocent”, if not I hope she steps down.

She will certainly step down.

Labour absolutely must set a new standard and get us out of the gutter we’ve descended into with the Tories.

AR has said that, if she is judged to have broken the law, she will step down and she absolutely will do so, if necessary. I believe in her integrity, unlike the string of Tory MPs who have brought their own party in disrepute!

Another slime ball MP. Why do they put themselves in these sexual situations? Gay dating apps/dodgy characters etc. Some men (politicians or not) must just love the thrill of it all. The edgy danger. Getting locked in an apartment then being threatened with blackmail. Ye gods.

That said apparently Tory HQ have known about this incident for three months! Maybe they were hoping it wouldn’t blow up in their faces? Well it has and the whole shenanigans is dispiriting. Not just the bad judgement of said MP but his further lying after panicking about the mess he was in at 3am.

I’d have zero respect for this man now. I’m glad he lost the Whip but I feel sorry for his constituents on the Fylde coast.

Is it that these type of sleazy people are attracted to the political life, perhaps being in the limelight?

Or does sleaze spread like a virus?

Agreed Urmstogran. With all these recent MP scandals those who lose out are their constituents. I imagine these dodgy MPs haven’t been dedicating all their time & effort into the job they’re paid to do, which is supporting their constituents.

I think there might be something in that.

Can I just say there’s nought wrong with dating apps, if you’re single, gay or otherwise!

The talent puddle that is the current Tory party is a direct result of Johnson getting rid of the experienced remain supporting Tories of the previous era. Instead we’ve got a bunch of public school nodding dogs with dubious proclivities. Many of the few good ones aren’t standing again.

Reading that two Tory councillors being disciplined for racism.

It is alleged that the MPs rent boy lover was a Brazilian, refused asylum 3 times I believe. Rather sordid at the very least, vulnerable to blackmail too one suspects.

Are there any honest Tory MPs, it’s a bit depressing, especially as our MP has been proved a crook and is standing again.

His Constituency office knew a couple of years ago that he was paying a young Brazilian sex worker, including for drugs
They chose to support the MP
Personal lives are private unless you’re a public servant, vulnerable to blackmail and living a dangerously dodgy private life leaving you open to blackmail
This man is really unsuitable to be an mp

Also a private life is very different to using a rent boy or any sex worker which is exploitation and in my view abuse.

Am not having a go at you there Iam64, I know how you feel about the subject, it's just the way this is casually being covered in general as if it was ok.

We’re his constituency perhaps his relations?
And is (was) Fylde a safe Tory seat. I smell another by-election in the wind.

It’s a bizarre story all round. According to The Times, in the early hours he called an elderly aide asking for help because "bad people" had locked him up and his office manager eventually paid over £6,000 from her personal bank account. SHE was then reimbursed using money raised by donors for local Conservative campaigning. It would make a film.

You really couldn't make this stuff up could you. Ye gods, at least Angela Rayner isn't involved with drugs, kidnap, blackmail, sex workers, sexual assault and illegal immigration. The party of sleaze are determined to live up to their name aren't they. Still, I suppose they've got to be good at something.

What amazes me most actually is the loyalty of the people around him in his constituency office. Why compromise your own integrity and sit on this for a year.

Galaxy / I didn’t feel you were having a go at me. I don’t see sec work as a life choice as some do. It’s exploitative, dangerous and damaging . I try not to be judgemental but this man isn’t fit to be an M
P

Even The Telegraph:

“ A ban on smoking? Stubbing out Tory sleaze may have been the better priority”

Why did his local party continue to support this man

Grindr seems very dodgy. Again, that ‘gay edgy thrill’.
And that Fish one. Can’t recall the full title.
Always when some scandal/murder/exploitation is one or other of these sites.
Shudder.
