Tory whip resigns saying he 'embarrassed himself'

Another one bites the dust.

Good job i didn't have to resign every time i made a tit of myself during a session i would never have worked




The Tory deputy chief whip has resigned from government, saying he "embarrassed myself and other people" and "drank far too much".

In his resignation letter on Thursday Chris Pincher apologised to the prime minister "and to those concerned".

He said: "I owe it to you and the people I've caused upset to, to do this."

Mr Pincher has been Tamworth's MP since 2010 and served as a minister under former Prime Minister Theresa May.

He said in his letter that the prime minister would continue to have his "full support from the back benches", adding: "It has been the honour of my life to have served in Her Majesty's Government."

A senior Downing Street source described Chris Pincher as a loyal Conservative who recognised that he behaved badly.

The source said as things stand, he would face no further action and keep the party whip.

His day job of peddling the **** his party has, is far more embarrassing than his drinking habits.

I want to know what he actually did whilst ******. Just getting leathered doesn't mean you have to resign... Get rat-arsed, vomiting in priti pastels handbag and doing dick pics on rishi sunaks phone might.

He's obvs hoping resigning before the story comes out is the lesser of 2 evils.

According to the BBC (and reported in The Sun, so it must be true) …

“Tory deputy chief whip Chris Pincher has resigned from the government, as a newspaper alleged he groped two men at a private members' club.”

How this becomes a resignation matter in the Tory Party, where the Leader lies and cheats at will, God only knows!

Perhaps he "slipped on a glacé cherry".

5 live news -
It has been reported he may have groped two men

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Why hasn’t he been arrested and charged? This isn’t a first offence so why is he still an MP?

 

[Rodcx500z]

Think i will join the Tory party and live a life of sleaze without fear of retribution

You would be behind Prince Andrew in the queue.

Groping members of private members at a private members' club?

Should be named Pinchim not Pincher!

What goes on behind Closed doors
At least he’s being truthful and admitted what he’s done, unlike others in his party that just lie and don’t seem to be caring what the public who put them there thinks. How much time have they got left ?

Well with a name like Pincher, wtf is a chap supposed to do. Clearly comes from a long line of pinchers. It was probably an honourable profession in the times of Chaucer.

Six new allegations about Pincher and Boris appointed him despite knowledge of his history. Back in 2017 he resigned for similar reasons. More awful judgement by Boris.
