PETER BONE’S behaviour left his alleged victim a “broken shell,” the complainant at the centre of the bullying and sexual misconduct case said today ahead of a parliamentary vote on the Tory MP’s suspension.

Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel (IEP) said that the Wellingborough MP, who has had the Tory whip removed, “committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct” against a member of his staff in 2012 and 2013.

MPs were expected to vote on whether he should be handed a six-week-suspension – as recommended by the IEP – after the Morning Star goes to print.

If approved, the suspension could lead to Mr Bone facing a recall petition, which could pave the way for another by-election.

Speaking to BBC News ahead of the vote, the complainant – who remains anonymous – spoke about the alleged “physical, emotional, psychological abuse” he had endured.

The former aide also criticised the handling of his complaint by the Conservatives, claiming he was “effectively ghosted” by the party.

Mr Bone has said the allegations are “false and untrue” and “without foundation” and has vowed to continue representing his constituents.

The complainant said he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder related to his experience.

He said: “It unfortunately became this horrid, brutal, dark experience that left me a broken shell of the young man I once was.

“Peter’s behaviour was erratic. His temper was often explosive. I described it as like a, like a pendulum.

“He would go from one type of, kind of, personality to another. It was very hard to predict.

“And that kind of … left me feeling quite under siege … a kind of siege mentality in terms of the relentless shouting, the screaming, the hitting.

“The physical, emotional, psychological abuse as well as what happened later was just constantly on my mind. It was relentless to be honest.”

He also claimed he was “never given a clear timeline of events or even an estimated one” regarding his complaint to the Conservatives.

“I was left in this kind of limbo,” he said.

A Tory spokesperson said the case was investigated by the party but the complainant withdrew from the process.

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is seeking legal advice on whether or not the BBC interview was in contempt of Parliament, Deputy Speaker Sir Roger Gale told MPs.
