😂
Clearly, I haven't covered it all!

You are all brilliant.

That bring said, it says something that we know all the Tory excuses by heart. I wonder why that is? 🤔

There will be an enquiry. In the meantime he’ll keep drawing his salary. Then an enquiry into these findings. Then it will be deemed lessons have be learnt and it’s time to move on, with his wife featuring again to say it’s all fine now.
This man will likely get away with his behaviour. Complete lack of respect , MPs have shown us they are above the law, and can behave as they like.

I’ve met him a few times, quite a few years back, due to my old job (lobbyist). I’m honestly shocked. I wouldn’t have thought it of him. I don’t disbelieve it - but I just wouldn’t have thought it.

Has anyone asked Kier Starmer to define "porn" yet?

Frogslegsbigfeet · 29/04/2022 20:57

Is that actually what his wife said? What’s actually wrong with the pair of them? He’s sitting watching porn in the commons in front of people and she’s saying well it’s the woman’s fault as they posed for it?

pair of total muppets.

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 20:59

Have I covered it all?

He was watching porn because he was struggling with his gender identity. He wants to come out as trans.

NewBootsAndRanty · 29/04/2022 20:59

Yes, @Frogslegsbigfeet
It it weren't for us pesky women, this would never have happened.

Noisyprat · 29/04/2022 21:00

I think you missed:

A constituent came to one of his surgeries and was having problems at home. He was investigating how to help the poor man. Just doing his public duty.

I just cannot believe this government, it's absolutely disgusting, he should resign immediately. As for his wife, pathetic, and they have children, I despair.

I was going to say this too. I think one of his male colleagues pipped him to the post in using this “get out of jail” card.

No, but I’m sure someone will be along in a minute to say he once watched Pretty Woman.

HardRockOwl · 29/04/2022 21:05

I don't actually think it's right to be nasty about his wife . She didn't say the above comments in a total vacuum - she also said she was shocked, very embarrassed and felt for the women who had to witness it

So, to drag her into it, is unfair. She's not responsible for her husbands actions is she so let's not blame a woman for what this man has done

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 21:06

If only our politicians had the intelligence, presence of mind and wit of the folk on this thread.

The country wouldn’t be the fuck up it is now

Lottapianos · 29/04/2022 21:07

Just waiting for the 'sex addiction' claim. Boo hoo🙄

Blossomtoes · 29/04/2022 21:07

so let's not blame a woman for what this man has done

But that’s exactly what Mrs Parish did. 🤷‍♀️

FrancescaContini · 29/04/2022 21:08

Agree. How many more inquiries do we need into this government’s lack of standards/inability to obey the law? It’s beyond belief.

AgentProvocateur · 29/04/2022 21:08

He needs to resign. I hope his wife leaves him. He’s disgusting.

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 21:09

But that’s exactly what Mrs Parish did

Absolutely

HardRockOwl · 29/04/2022 21:10

@Blossomtoes but she didn't really did she? She said a lot of things. This is a woman completely caught on the hop and very shocked and embarrassed

To try and drag her into it is completely wrong. It's not her actions is it?

But I know it's easier for some people to always default to somehow blaming a woman ...

Yep. And her “ women pose for this“ comment came at the end of her statement, so it comes across as: oh yes, poor women, shouldn’t be degraded by men around them watching porn BUT it takes two to tango…

HardRockOwl · 29/04/2022 21:11

I disagree.

Focus should be 100% on what this idiot has done, not trying to shoehorn blame onto his wife for using clumsy words

NewBootsAndRanty · 29/04/2022 21:11

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 20:59

Nah, he was just doing research in case he got asked what a woman is 😇

Then don't defend him and keep your mouth shut?

Surely the best course of action would have been to stay out of her husbands workplace indiscretions and support him privately (if she felt inclined), not give old fashioned Tory Wife sound bites.
