Parliamentary standards?
Ok so hes not going to pass but only because he didn’t also beat a baby seal while stealing from someone homeless.
No, not as an ethics adviser candidate.
In addition to the standard allegations of [sexual assault and drug abuse](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/02/tories-suspend-david-warburton-amid-claims-over-sexual-harassment-and-drug-use), this particular scandal shrouded Tory MP is also accused of corrupt lobbying on behalf of a professional Russian oligarch adviser [according to The Times](https://archive.ph/RVXVU).
This has prompted parliamentary commissioner for standards Kathryn Stone to launch “an inquiry into whether Warburton had broken the code of conduct for MPs on three counts, including paid advocacy and failure to declare a gift or other benefit.”
If things don’t go well for Warburton, a by-election could follow in his constituency of Somerset and Frome.
Since the plethora of recent sexual misconduct cases involving Tory MPs is confusing, I include a handy guide from a previous comment:
– Unnamed ([mostly](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22andrew+rosindell%22+%22arrested%22&tbs=qdr:m)) MP recently [arrested for rape and assault](https://news.sky.com/story/conservative-mp-arrested-over-rape-and-sexual-assault-allegations-spanning-seven-year-period-12615430) over a seven year span

I doubt he is the only MP who could be accused of these. It seems like Westminster is an old boys’ club and it is known that drug use is frequent within the HoC. He is just on who has been caught in the act.
Isn’t it ok though if he just says sorry?
What a shameful, selfish infested pustule of a man.
They mean insufficient cocaine use, right? I mean what’s the world coming to otherwise.
