In December 2017 Damian Green was sacked as de facto deputy prime minister for lying about claims that police found pornography on a computer in his office a decade earlier. Today's revelation is not the first time MPs have got into trouble over their porn-watching habits. They said they had seen a male Tory MP watching porn on his phone a few weeks ago. One attendee said: ‘We were having a discussion about being a woman in politics, particularly a woman in the governing party. Theresa May attended the meeting but was understood not to have been present when the porn allegations were made. Tuesday’s meeting is understood to have been attended by between 40 and 50 Tory MPs, including Mr Heaton-Harris, party co-chairman Oliver Dowden and Commons leader Mark Spencer. One female MP told the meeting on Tuesday they had sat behind the man on the Commons benches and seen him look at porn on his phone.Īnother said she had seen the same MP looking at porn both in the chamber and in a committee hearing room. The claims about the MP, who has not been named and is not believed to be a minister, were aired during a meeting of backbench Tories. Furious female Tory MPs have demanded that their male colleague quit. Chris Heaton-Harris, the Tory chief whip, launched an investigation into the ‘wholly unacceptable’ allegations, with his team vowing to take action.
