Stanley Johnson has indeed been accused of touching a Tory MP inappropriately


Stanley Johnson, the prime minister's father, is accused of improperly touching a former cabinet member and a leading political writer.

Johnson slapped her on the bottom in 2003, while he was vying for the seat of Teignbridge in Devon, according to Caroline Nokes, the chairwoman of the women and equalities committee.

Johnson had "groped me at a party during the Conservative conference in 2019," according to Ailbhe Rea, political writer for the New Statesman, who expressed gratitude to Nokes for coming out.

When asked by Sky News, Johnson said he had "no recall of Caroline Nokes at all." On Tuesday, Home Office minister Damian Hinds said a probe into the accusations should be carried out "if that is the proper course of action."

On Sky News, Nokes, the MP for Romsey, was part of a panel debate with other MPs. "In Strangers' Bar [in parliament], I've had male MPs stick their hands on my behind," she claimed.

I recall a well-known man – at the time the Conservative candidate for Teignbridge in Devon – patting me on the behind and saying, 'Oh, Romsey, you've got a nice seat.

"I'd be in my early 30s, so I'd be old enough, old enough to call it out... It is now a responsibility, an absolute obligation, for me to call out everywhere I see it. Be the obnoxious, irritable, and confrontational lady in the room because if I'm not willing to do it, neither will my kid... You do reach a point where you say to yourself, "Up with this, I'm not putting."

"Stanley Johnson also molested me at a party during the Conservative conference in 2019," Rea tweeted after Nokes' interview. Caroline Nokes deserves credit for raising attention to something that none of us should have to put up with, especially from the prime minister's father."

Johnson, 81, tried unsuccessfully to become a Member of Parliament in 2005. "I have no recall of Caroline Nokes at all – but there you go," he told Sky News. And there has been no response... "Good luck and thanks," says the narrator.

Boris Johnson's spokesperson said he couldn't comment on specific examples, but that Downing Street would urge anybody who had been harassed to come forward and report it.

He stated, I'm not going to get involved in particular claims against a private individual. Of course, we want anyone in any situation who believes they have been the victim of harassment to feel free to come forward and report it to the relevant authorities.

Three additional prominent MPs spoke on the Sky News panel about their perspectives as lawmakers on what improvements should be taken to stop sexual harassment and violence. Labour MPs Jess Phillips and Rosena Allin-Khan, as well as Conservative MP Fay Jones, spoke about their personal sexual harassment experiences.

Senior bosses harassed Phillips and Allin-Khan in their former positions, according to both of them. Phillips, who is the shadow minister for domestic abuse, said she was assaulted at a party by a former boss.

Jones, who was elected in 2019, said how she was 17 years old when she was flashed at by a guy.

The administration, according to Hinds, is dedicated to making life safer for women and girls. "Obviously, I don't know about the... "I learned about this, about these charges this morning, as you have, or overnight," he told Times Radio.

I can say that, overall, the government places a high focus on women's and girls' safety and freedom from harassment, whether they are at home, at work, on the street, or online.

"But I'm not making a connection between that and this because we don't know," she says, "but if there is a need for an inquiry, then that will be done." Of course, if there is a need for an inquiry, and if that is the proper course of action, it will be conducted".

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world thanks to the rise of #Tesla shares

  Tesla stock After Elon Musk became the richest person in the world thanks to the recent rise of Tesla shares, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said that SpaceX will push Musk to become a "trillionaire." The space exploration company is challenging any preconceived notion of what was feasible and the possible timeframe, in terms of rockets, launch vehicles and supporting infrastructure who can catch up, Jonas added in a note entitled SpaceX Jump Fast forward. SpaceX now makes up less than 17% of Musk's net worth of $241.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Rich List, after the company was valued at $100 billion in a secondary stock sale earlier in October.

Tesla’s valuation tops $1 trillion after Hertz’s plan to buy 100,000 Tesla EVs
