Boris Johnson’s insistence he was unaware of accusations when promoting his ally to whips’ office lasted just three days
Chris Pincher quit the whips’ office after former professional rower and Tory activist Alex Story accused him of making unwanted passes, massaging his neck while telling him he would go far in the party and acting like a “poundshop Harvey Weinstein” towards him in 2001. He denied the allegations and a party investigation later cleared Pincher of wrongdoing.
