A Tory that feels embarrassment… This government *can* still surprise
He had to resign over a similar thing in 2017
Any chatter about what exactly transpired? Sounds like they’re trying to get in front of the story; must be pretty bad to resign without stories prior.
E: He allegedly groped two men. Thanks to those who responded with the telegraph article!
Bloke must have absolutely fucked it to resign preemptively
Pincher took his name quite literally by the sounds of things
Guy called Pincher can’t keep his hands to himself, can’t make it up.
Oh outstanding, I was hoping this was satire or someone trying to make a point but it’s actually real. Amazing.
Looks like they have really dealt with the ‘culture around drink’ effectively so far!
Pal, you just missed the last round of by-elections for horny tories.
What’s the fuck is going on with these MPs and being sexual predators

The appropriately named Chris Pincher?
That one? The Tory groper?
At this rate, the only one left will be BoJo…and he’ll still be mumbling on about getting Brexit done-er and getting on with the job along with a couple of poorly thought out insults directed towards the opposition, after which he will retreat to his safe place…the Commons fridge
That’s how you do it: make an embarrassing mistake, hand in your notice swiftly the next day. At least some Tory MPs have some sense of integrity left.
He’s only resigned as deputy whip, not as an MP. Surely he should be investigated and sacked after admitting to sexual assault!? Prompting yet another by-election.
“embarrassed” is a strange way to say “sexually assaulted”.
Having an affair with an aide, watching porn in the commons, openly fantasising about sniffing teenage girls’ hair and now groping two people. Are the Tories not able to keep it in their trousers for at least a few weeks?
Nice if the rest of the corrupt cunts did the same.
> Gets caught assaulting two people
“I’m embarrassed”
That’s a shite apology.
And where did he grope them?
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😝
Tories in his home constituency of Tamworth should deselect him. Then we can have another Johnson-rocking by-election.
No mention of a police investigation in this or bbc’s report, which seems odd
Some are born Tories, some become Tories, and others have Tories thrust upon them.
I get beer fear / hangover anxiety at the best of times and I’m not a “pincher”. Imagine waking up after a sesh and your drunken fuckups being talked about across the nation & media lol.

Wonder who he groped?

I am so confused … this is presumably the same guy, 5 years ago, resigning from the same job? https://www.reddit.com/r/LabourUK/comments/7b09v9/breaking_chris_pincher_mp_quits_government_whips/
