Every few years or so, MPs let out a collective howl of outrage and decide that something really must be done about sexual misconduct in Westminster. And every few years or so almost nothing substantially changes. Not so long ago it was pornography found on Damian Green’s Commons computer.

Give it a few more years and some sexually incontinent MP will be masturbating live on Parliament TV.
