TORY sleaze returned to Westminster today with a former MP being reprimanded for “brazen and drunken sexual misconduct.”
Aaron Bell, who stood down from his Newcastle-under-Lyme seat at the general election, was found to have inappropriately touched a female member of staff in the notorious Strangers’ Bar in the Commons in December.
The Parliamentary standards commissioner announced that had Mr Bell still been a serving MP, there would have been a recommendation for a lengthy suspension from the Commons.
