MPs stop sexually assaulting people challenge (failed).
A two day suspension. So not enough to trigger a recall petition. Anyone else would lose their job over that.
>“Mr Grady, under the influence of alcohol, made a sexual advance to the complainant in the mistaken belief that this advance would be welcomed. The advance included the touching and stroking of the complainant’s neck, hair, and back. The respondent states that when it became apparent that his conduct was not welcome, he desisted.”
it’s an easy rule to follow, establish consent before touching someone
From what the article states happened isn’t too bad and I don’t think it would be an issue if it was outside work.
The issue is that it’s an MP, which is a very senior manager and the victim was a teenager and a very junior worker. The power imbalance is as big as it could feasibly ever be.

No, really, that guy? Surely not.
