Tory MP for Fylde in Lancashire has had the whip suspended for allegedly using campaign funds in connection with bribes from people he met through a Brazilian male sex worker. Brings together corruption, sex, immigration (sex worker has had his application for residency denied 3 times..perhasp that was what attracted him to a Tory MP) and ageism. Said MP rang up his 78 year old female former campaign manager at 3am seeking her to get money to ‘release him’. The Times journalist had a field day with this - but on p12 as obviously Rayner’s horrific crime has to dominate front pages.

You seem very willing to find an excuse for a Labour politician Annie, but not for others.

Wrong GSM I know there was talk of the affair but no evidence, my opinion on Wilson not polite

Harold Wilson had (I believe) a 20 year affair with his secretary
Untrue rumour.

I think we all know that MP’s sleazy behaviour happens in every political party there is.
It needs rooting out from whichever direction it comes.

Candidates in any election like to present themselves as moral, family oriented, community servants. In reality a great many are self interested exploiters who will get away with whatever they can.
Having affairs, even paying for sex is not illegal, but it does expose their true character.

Oreo I’m with you on the need to root out sleazy behaviour in all political parties
Interesting that accusations of indecent assault, harassment, using porn in the HoC, domestic abuse, drugs and rent boys etc seem to involve men
