Tories choose Peter Bone’s partner as candidate to replace him
Helen Harrison will stand in Wellingborough byelection called after bullying and harassment revelations against Bone
Bone was recalled after the parliamentary watchdog found he had broken the MPs’ code of conduct on four counts of bullying and one of sexual misconduct. The panel upheld an earlier report that found he had repeatedly hit and verbally abused a member of his staff, asked him for massages and on one occasion put his bare genitals in the other man’s face.
The Sunday Times reported that Bone had threatened to stand as an independent if the Tories did not include Harrison on their shortlist of candidates.
a confirmed bully bullies those who condemned him as a bully, which those now being bullied accept in order to prevent further bullying
the threat of his potentially independent proverbial member blowing up in their face .. or something
still im sure she is the best candidate on offer
