Power corrupts and the cheap bar I’m sure doesn’t help.
People who are literally above the law? With access to subsidized booze in the day? Who hire and fire their own staff with no oversight? Who got their positions by being power hungry shits?
I can’t believe this isn’t a professional environment!
The Rot starts at the top as they say.
I bet the figure removed from office is nowhere near 56.
The fact that you have a bunch of men from from single sex boarding schools probably does not help with treating women as equals rather than as objects.
This is not to say that everyone from a single sex environment has these issues but I suspect it is a factor. The same way that people brought up with servants tend to treat people in a similar way, thankfully this is less common in the UK than many countries.
Having in one in the chamber has a new meaning.
Gross.
Rules and free amenities for me and fuck-all the rest of the population. Nice.
Assuming that all the MP’s currently being investigated for sexual misconduct are male, how the fuck can 1 in 8 be under investigation? If this was a private company that let that go on the compensation to female employees would be running to hundreds of millions.
I wonder about their political affiliations…. They deserve to be sacked if found guilty
Anyways good pun
Angela Rayner STARTED The Sharon Stone rumours: Labour deputy leader joked on podcast in January about ‘mortifying’ Basic Instinct comparisons she and Matt Forde joke how she puts Boris Johnson off
So Thats 56 out of ~ 650 mps of which 425 are male, so about 13% of male mps!
What surprises me is that when ever it comes out every one says oh yes we knew all about that iv got loads of stories. Well say who then. Seriously is there not one person who isn’t willing to just say fuck it and start naming names
Worked there 2012-2015 and I remember a married SNP MP was hooking up with a Lib Dem parliamentary assistant. It was an open secret really.
