Neil Parishthe British parliamentarian accused by several colleagues of looking at pornography on his mobile device during parliamentary sessions, has been provisionally suspended from membership of the Conservative Party.
This has been communicated by a spokesperson for his party after meeting with the head of discipline of the same, Chris Heaton-Harriswhich has also detailed that an investigation will be opened to clarify what happened.
If found guilty, a series of sanctions are foreseen, among which the expulsion from Parliament. For its part, from the Labor ranks, the immediate dismissal of Parish is demanded.
Until now, the identity of the conservative parliamentarian who was accused last Tuesday by at least two deputies from his same party of viewing porn during sessions in the House of Commons.
Parish is idputado by Tiverton and Honiton, pertaining to the county of Devon, southwest of England. He is 65 years old and presides over the Commons Committee on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
His case joins 56 other complaints of alleged sexual misconduct filed against other parliamentarians, including three members of the Government and two opposition spokesmen, who have not been identified.
The controversy caused by Parish’s unexemplary performance adds to another that broke out last weekend when the tabloid newspaper The Mail on Sunday published an article signed by Glen Owen whose headline was already macho enough: Tories accuse Rayner of using Basic Instinct strategy to distract Boris. Rayner is Angela Rayner, a Labor MP whose clashes with Prime Minister Boris Johnson are intense in Parliament.
In that newspaper article, Rayner is compared to Sharon Stone and the famous leg-crossing scene. Owen, citing sources from the Conservative parliamentary group, writes that many MPs from that party believe that Labor politics crosses and uncrosses its legs in the weekly government control sessions to “distract” Johnsonin the style, apostille, of Stone in the 1992 film.
