TORY FILTH & THE FURY

Conservative women condemn Westminster sexism & sleaze

- PIPPA CRERAR

AT the highly charged meeting of female Tory MPs, described by one witness as a "blood-letting", around a dozen women shared stories of being subjected to sexism and harassment in Westminster.

But MPs said there were "audible gasps" in the room when a minister revealed that she had spotted a Tory MP sitting next to her in the Commons watching porn on his phone.

Two people present said she had described him as a "frontbencher", a minister or a whip, but a third said she had only said a Tory "MP".

The Commons meeting of between 40 and 50 female Tory MPs, known as the 2022 group, was attended by chief whip Chris HeatonHarris, who is investigating the claims. The unnamed culprit is expected to lose his job.

At Prime Minister's Questions, Boris Johnson told MPs: "Sexual harassment is intolerable... of course it is grounds for dismissal."
