A new sex scandal involving the UK's ruling Conservative Party hit the embattled British PM on Friday, the first day after he returned from a world trip. One MP resigned from his post within Boris Johnson's government on Thursday following accusations he groped two men while drunk. Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher, who is responsible for discipline in the Conservative Party, admitted he "drank way too much" and apologised for "embarrassing myself and others" in his resignation letter. He’s now had the whip removed by the Conservative Party, which means he will no longer sit with them in Parliament. This incident -- the Conservatives' fifth major sex scandal in three months -- is bad news for Johnson who has just returned from an eight-day diplomacy marathon across two continents. During his international tour, in which he visited Rwanda, Germany and then Spain for G7 and NATO summits, Johnson repeatedly tried to brush aside domestic political troubles and called … [Read more...] about Deputy chief whip resigns as Boris Johnson returns home to another Tory sex scandal

Boris Johnson under mounting pressure over Tory whip who quit over groping claims
Boris Johnson is facing mounting pressure over groping claims against a Conservative whip, as two senior female MPs demand a "zero tolerance" approach to sexual misconduct in the party. Chris Pincher quit his role as deputy chief whip after allegedly groping two men - and the PM is being urged to kick him out of the Tory parliamentary group. Downing Street defended the prime minister's decision to appoint Mr Pincher to the whip role earlier this year despite concerns reportedly expressed at the time, saying it was "not appropriate to stop an appointment on the basis of unsubstantiated allegations". Politics Hub: No 10 responds to report PM knew of groping claims Tory MPs Karen Bradley and Caroline Nokes - the only two Conservative female chairs of backbench select committees - took aim in a joint letter at what they called the "inconsistent and unclear approach" by the party to such incidents.
