Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing calls to expel the former Tory deputy chief whip from the party after he dramatically quit following a drunken incident in which he 'embarrassed myself and other people'. Chris Pincher, who was responsible for maintaining discipline among Conservative MPs, said he had 'far too much' to drink.
Reports revealed he stood down after assaulting two fellow guests at the Carlton Club, a Tory Party private members' club in London's Piccadilly, on Wednesday evening. However it's thought he would continue to sit as a Tory MP as he was considered to have done the right thing by admitting wrongdoing and resigning.
Labour said it showed the party was 'mired in sleaze and scandal' and questioned how Mr Pincher could still be allowed to take the Conservative whip given what had happened.
