A Conservative MP who allegedly watched pornography on his phone in the Commons should be kicked “out of parliament, out of the party”, a UK Home Office minister has said.
Speaking on The Take with Sophy Ridge on Sky News, Rachel Maclean, the safeguarding minister, said she wanted to see the MP in question removed from Westminster.
The Conservatives are being accused of failing to act against an MP who watched porn in the Commons, amid doubts over when an inquiry will start – or if it will take place at all.
Labour and some Tories demanded to know why the whip has not been stripped from the unnamed MP, after he was identified by two females.
The prime minister was asked if he referred to the rebel Tory, who submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister, “that c*** Ellwood”.
“No,” Mr Johnson said, rebuffing the suggestion during an interview with Tom Newton Dunn on TalkTV.
“Let me just remind you of my golden rule: I think as a politician and as prime minister, you’re better off talking about the things people want you to do and want you to fix.”
