Boris Johnson’s government is in crisis as the Tory whip resigned over allegations he groped two men while drunk
In his resignation letter, Chris Pincher admitted he “drank far too much” and embarrassed himself and other people.
According to sources from Downing Street, it is unlikely Pincher will face any further action, and he will remain as a Conservative MP.
The Sun newspaper first reported the resignation, saying he was drinking at the Carlton Club when he is accused of assaulting two other male guests.
Reports suggest several concerned Tory MPs contacted the Conservative whips’ office to complain about Pincher’s behaviour.
Prime Minister is yet to comment on the matters.
