British MP Chris “Pinchy” Pincher, having already resigned from his chamber post as deputy whip after a a drunken Thursday incident where he groped two men and been suspended from the party, found himself in even more of a pinch this weekend as multiple further incidents of sexual harassment even against fellow male lawmakers surfaced, the BBC reports.
“The stresses of the last few days, coming on top of those over the last several months, have made me accept that I will benefit from professional medical support, I am in the process of seeking that now, and I hope to be able to return to my constituency duties as soon as possible,” Pinchy said in a statement, which means he’s probably screwed and will not actually be returning, ever.
The row marks the latest in a shitshow of 2022 for the Tories following the conviction of MP Imran Khan on charges of sexually assaulting a teenage boy, the resignation of MP Neil Parish after he was twice caught watching porn on his phone in the fucking Parliament chamber, in session, the suspension of MP David Warburton for US Republican-style coke orgying, a recent report alleging a direct line of cash from some Russian scumbag to the party’s coffers, a still publicly-unnamed Conservative MP being arrested for rape in May, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson only somewhat comfortably surviving a no-confidence vote for holding parties during COVID lockdowns. Oh and some lib put a traffic cone on the former party leader’s head, but that happened last year.
