NEIL PARISH, MP for Tiverton and Honiton, announced his resignation on Saturday after a week of goings-on that resembled a circus show. Last week we knew that an MP had been seen looking at pornography on his phone in the House of Commons.
Then we were told the identity of the MP, followed by his resignation. This whole debacle, like so many other recent parliamentary scandals, will in no doubt be erased from the public’s consciousness shortly so politicians will be free to carry on behaving as if the rules don’t apply.
This scandal, however, gives us an opportunity to examine an issue that has been at the forefront of many women’s and girls’ lives.
