Can Parish tough out watching porn in the Commons? – politicalbetting.com
After all the speculation over the past few days we now know that the CON MP caught watching porn while in the Commons Chamber was Neil Parish – member for Tiverton and Honiton since GE2010.

Pathetic.
Disgusting.
Out of touch. Imagine repeatedly showing your colleagues at work, ffs. Bunch of dinosaurs.
At least in Scotland we have proper scandals like ferries - "I signed the document cos the other guy was on holiday", or vicious Salmond v Sturgeon drama.
But at least someone is trying. And just before (as noted by OGH) the Glorious 5th of May.
What’s that got to do with him ogling on the job.
Perhaps they should present some.
However his chances of being selected as Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Tiverton and Honiton again at that election are effectively zero
He voted against same-sex marriage, so perhaps they are social conservatives? Which does NOT make someone immune to porno, but can make it harder to admit & deal with?
I make it 2 months salary as winding up allowance plus 6 months salary for Loss of Office, which is about 60k if he stays until the next election in say May 2024 if it is then, which I think he does not get if he goes first.
Plus however much salary it is (£168k if 2 years), plus an extra approx 2 years worth of pension rights.
Will that weigh heavily in the equation?
So apparently he was ambushed twice by a file which started playing porn on his phone !
Also memorable case, of female professor whose Zoom background featured some esp. impressive samples of Leon's flint-knappery.
EDIT - In her case, may have caused some eyebrow raising at the faculty club, but don't think she actually did anything wrong, seeing as how her dildo collection was NOT in active service during her zooming.
The film of him earlier saying he would “await the verdict of the enquiry” was pathetic, in both the pejorative and sympathetic sense. A man in the midst of a profound, utter humiliation.
It would be perfect if Parish given his voting record suffered the same fate !
Awkward trying to explain to my boss that I wasn't streaming Sky through my laptop. Quite frightening how sophisticated the tracker was though. PB on phone only.

You too can pay Laura Pidcock to teach you how to lose elections.
@bigjohnowls right up your alley
He has indicated he would go if the findings go against him, and that is quite obviously what will happen.
The "accidentally clicked on a link" thing is transparently false, as it happened twice and for a sustained period on each occasion. Everything about his demeanour and answers screamed guilt, and he has no chance.
Meanwhile, who conducted the poll Express are referring to? Proper firm done proper, if they did it themselves then what a reek of desperation?
Front pages tonight.
No wonder Vlad thinks the West has collapsed into irrelevant decadence.
Jeez.
Okay good. And how long was it on your screen in error.
About fifteen minutes.

Short suspension. No recall petition.
Thank you and good night.

When you look as the “strongly” approve ratings the Duda/Johnson leads are even stronger:

For example, Johnson 69, Macron 17.
The deadly accordion wars of Lesotho
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-61097386
Rivalry between stars of a unique accordion-based style of music in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho has sparked years of deadly gang warfare that has turned the tiny country into the murder capital of the continent.…
That suggests there were several incidences, some deliberate, some accidental.
The Gift that keeps on giving.
Once upon a time that was a sackable offence.

Highly recommend it, although for me personally it was unsettling. It's a disturbing and extraordinary story.
Parish is fooked if she crosses her legs.
As for your last line; it's a bit rich coming from someone who talks about how the Ukrainians have used far too many anti-tank weapons to destroy the tanks they have destroyed, and refuses to give any source for the assertion...
Private Eye had run stories about him for years. It wasn’t a major shock that he was a crook, just that the full extent of his crookery wasn’t clear.

Having said that, it does seem that NATO intentions have shifted in the last week. I suspect it won’t be very long before they get the Polish aircraft.

F16s will be part of the post war security guarantee.
Choosing the day when one of the world's great sporting icons gets sent to jail has made their vendetta look a little bit obvious!
Hopefully it will not come to that.
While I agree our libel laws are outrageous, I'm not convinced of the case for allowing the British press to print any salubrious gossip they think will sell papers.
Though fail lamentably in not using ‘Boom Boom to Bust’ as the headline.

T and H and its forerunners have been Tory for 100 years, and the LibDems no longer have anything in common with the kind of traditional Liberals who supported them in places like this.
Incidentally, it seems that many rich, dodgy people see owning football clubs as a wise way to invest their lucre. I wonder if they think it gives them respectability, whilst the fandom gives them protection?
Many of the more basic weapons such as artillery, which need little training, have been sent already this week. As we discussed previously with the planes, the short term plan might be to mostly find the more complex kit from other nations, of a type which the Ukranians already know, and then to backfill those nations as well as train Ukranians in the medium term.
As Dura correctly pointed out, the complex equipment such as planes and MBTs needs a whole operation behind each type of it, much more than simply training the few officers that directly operate them. Military fighter jets in particular, even the established types, need constant maintenance to remain serviceable.
And so to the sheer scale of Westminster’s cross-party sexual misconduct problem. Fifty-six accused MPs really is an astonishing statistic, given the arcane Westminster system’s barriers to reporting. It is certainly statistically likely that the overwhelming majority of those 56 are men, meaning that up to one in eight male MPs are currently accused of inappropriate behaviour and worse.
Women who work in Westminster are beyond fuming that this continues to happen and that nothing ever changes. One female Tory MP told Politico that things had actually got worse under Johnson because of the “culture of rule-breaking”, where nothing happens to dodgy MPs.

Even at 18 I was not at all surprised about the scale of it. Possibly because I didn't really grasp it - the lack of comparable scandals, perhaps.
It's said that Dacre was initially dismissive of the Lawrence's campaign, but then discovered that the very pleasant man then decorating his house was Neville Lawrence and changed his mind! It's not what, but who you know.
And as we discussed yesterday, the Sun backed off Savile at least once
Goodness knows what impact it will have on Russian society by the time it’s done.
