Let's not let ANYONE in Parliament get away with appalling,cheating and complicit behaviour but make sure they are held to the HIGHEST standards as a true example on how to behave in government.Otherwise why should the rest of us bother?

I’m in two minds about it. Which is worse, a tractor fetish or porn? Is the real issue the decorum of Parliament? Is that a must? Might it not be right that MPs should represent the warts and all aspects of their communities?

I would draw the line at lying to Parliament. However watching porn should obviously be done discreetly if at all!

It's up to the Conservatives to give it a rest on law-breaking then they can't be called out on it! They're making it far too easy for the Opposition parties; this selection is just from April!

• 2 April: Conservative MP David Warburton has whip suspended. (Alleged sexual harrassment, drug use and access following a £150k loan from Russia.)
• 11 April: Conservative MP Imran Khan found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy after plying him with gin at a party.
• 13 April: Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak receive their first Partygate fines.
• 17 April: Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen "lied under oath and behaved in an abusive, arrogant and aggressive manner", a High Court judge has ruled.
• 28 April: Conservative MP Jamie Wallis charged with careless driving and not reporting car crash.
• 28 April: Conservative Peer Michelle Mone's house raided in connection with the PPE scandal.
• 29 April: Conservative MP Neil Parrish suspended then resigned over watching porn in the Parliament.

This picture is of Keir Starmer sharing a curry with Frank Dobson (who died in 2019).

A Labour MP was suspended last week, always one sided shit with you Andrew. Pathetic.

You know he could go to prison for what he did...

My list was of law-breaking and potential law-breaking by the Conservative Party to illustrate the point that they were making it easy for the Opposition. It would be hard to argue with this based on the long list.

A transgression by the Opposition obviously does not help them so does not make it on the list.

I felt sorry for the male MPs who were under suspicion of being the porn watcher until he resigned.

She’s a woman, and I asking her to give it a rest. How else should I phrase it.

If it was a bloke making the same demands I’d post “give it a rest man”

Maybe Ben is into these countless gender arguments.

There’s nothing wrong in calling a woman a woman.

I wouldn’t feel offended I’d someone said to me ‘Give it a rest, man’. I’m sure Ben wouldn’t be either.

Yes, but you’re a man telling another man to shut up, saying it to the opposite sex, could be construed as chauvinistic or misogyny.

Women keep screaming for equal rights, now we shouldn't treat them the same?

You could have just said 'Give it a rest'.

Adding 'man' and 'woman' are different and understanding why isn't anything to do with 'countless gender arguments'.
