Former PM Boris Johnson’s response to sexual assault allegations have been slammed. Boris Johnson snoring is not a good look.
He fake snored in response to a question about Chris Pincher’s sexual assault allegations.
Pincher
Chris Pincher MP is facing a suspension from the House of Commons for eight weeks after a report into groping claims against him.
In its conclusions, released this morning, it said his conduct had been “completely inappropriate, profoundly damaging to the individuals concerned, and represented an abuse of power.
The report says: “Mr Pincher denies, however, that his conduct breached paragraph 17 of the 2019 code of conduct for members. Firstly, Mr Pincher maintains that he was speaking at the Carlton Club event in his capacity as a former minister, rather than as a member of parliament. Mr Pincher also told the Commissioner, but did not repeat in his evidence to us, that he returned to the Carlton Club later in the evening only in his personal capacity (with the implication that his conduct therefore falls outside the scope of the code).

Host Julia Macfarlane said his general attitude left a lot to be desired.
Speaking to the News Agents podcast, she said the former prime minister was “belligerent”, “defensive” and “pretty hostile” during the interview.
“I could see he was trying to undermine my question and what I tried to do was not to rise to it,” she said.
