'But you know, that is part of the ultimate challenge around parliament that I think needs to be fixed. 'I mean, my advice to any MP is actually avoid the bars, you know, finish a day's work and go home. Mr Wallace said the problems had been 'going on for decades' and were 'not easy to fix'. 'And for some people, under lots of pressure for all sorts of reasons. 'What I have witnessed is, what I think is the fundamental problem of Westminster, is the overall culture is that hundreds and hundreds of people (are) working long hours in a place with bars,' he said. Mr Wallace told Times Radio that there were 'fights', 'sexist comments' and 'propositions' in the bars. He pointed to the handful of exclusive bars on the Parliamentary estate, where drinks are much cheaper than outside, with a pint of beer costing around £3.60. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'I certainly think they should lose the whip.'
In a round of interviews this morning, Mr Wallace said 'there's no place for pornography in any workplace' and said there needs to be a cultural change in Westminster.

'What needs to happen now is that the proper procedures need to be gone through, the independent complaints and grievances procedure needs to be activated and we need to get to understand the facts, but, yeah, that kind of behaviour is clearly totally unacceptable.' 'It would be the same for any kind of job up and down the country, let's be absolutely clear about that. 'I think it's obviously unacceptable for anybody to be doing that kind of thing in the workplace,' he said. Speaking to reporters in Lancashire, Mr Johnson was asked whether the parliamentarian would lose the Conservative whip if the allegations are proven. The Prime Minister said the behaviour alleged by several female MPs was 'totally unacceptable' as he made a campaign visit to Burnley.Ĭabinet members said the culprit should be stripped of the whip or even kicked out of the House if they the allegations are proven.īut former minister Caroline Nokes has accused the chief whip of kicking the issue 'into the long grass', and said the whip should have been suspended already. It is a perfectly reasonable novel for a public library to stock – unless you want to be like (say) Putin’s Russia.Boris Johnson lashed out at one of his own MPs accused of watching pornography in the House of Commons today, hinting he faces being kicked out of the Conservative Party. The public-library user who was upset that the Anchorage library didn’t stock this classic novel (written more than 100 years ago, and not even sexually explicit) is far from alone in testifying that ‘Maurice’ has ‘saved his life as a gay man’.
