'What happens here stays here’ sign taken down from politician's bar in Parliament
A SIGN has been taken down from the club bar in the House of Lords after the fresh sex assault and harassment claims brew in Westminster.
PhD student and reportedly a parliamentary aide, Lewis Bassett, took a picture of the sign being taken down from the bar and posted it on Twitter.
The sign reads: “The code of the man cave - rule 3 What happens here stays here!
“Violators will be shot - survivors will be shot again.”
The code of the man cave - rule 3 What happens here stays here!
The sign was on display in the Sports and Social Club bar in the House of Lords, which is one of eight bars at Westminster.
The removal of the sign comes as 36 Tory MPs have been accused of sexual harassment and Sir Michael Fallon has resigned as Defence Secretary after it was revealed he put his hand on a journalist’s knee and allegedly made an inappropriate remark to MP Andrea Leadsom.
Cabinet members including Mark Garnier and Damian Green were among the politicians named in a dossier of Tory MPs.
Accusations go from affairs to allegations about some MPs being “handy with women at parties” or “being perpetually intoxicated and very inappropriate with women”.
The Labour MP Lisa Nandy has accused Theresa May of failing to act over warnings about historical claims of a Westminster sex scandal cover up.
Ms Nandy claimed she has told Mrs May when she was Home Secretary that Tory whips had “used information about sexual abuse to demand loyalty from MPs”.
On Monday, the Government announced a whistle-blower helping would be strengthened and told to recommend all serious allegations to the police as a result.
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow also called for change at Westminster amid what he called “disturbing” allegations.
