North East MP and Cabinet Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan has told how she was once “pinned against a wall” by a senior male MP as the fallout over misogyny and sexual misconduct in Parliament continues.
The International Trade Secretary, who is MP for Berwick, told LBC Radio that she had often been the subject of “wandering hands” in Parliament.
She said: “I’ve witnessed and been at the sharp end of misogyny from some colleagues many times over. We might describe it as wandering hands, if you like, we might describe it as, you know, a number of years ago being pinned up against a wall by a male MP who is now no longer in the House, I’m pleased to say, declaring that I must want him because he was a powerful man.
