The government's deputy chief whip has resigned this evening over an allegation of drunken "groping", it's understood.
Chris Pincher confirmed his resignation in a letter to Boris Johnson, who has been speaking at the Nato summit in Madrid, after "drinking too much" and "embarrassing himself and others".
He reportedly stood down after assaulting two fellow guests at the Carlton Club – a Tory Party private members’ club in London’s Piccadilly – on Wednesday evening.
