Bombshell dossier reveals lurid details of 36 Tories accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour as Westminster sex scandal deepens
The list, which includes two Cabinet Ministers and 18 serving Ministers, follows increasing pressure on Theresa May to sack disgraced Mark Garnier and Stephen Crabb
A BOMBSHELL dossier has detailed lurid claims against 36 Tories as the sex abuse scandal sparked by The Sun engulfed Westminster.
It came as a senior Tory Minister urged Theresa May to SACK disgraced colleague Mark Garnier for asking an aide to buy a sex toy - saying he was a "stain on all public servants".
The dossier has been compiled by Tory aides - and revealed by the website Guido Fawkes - accuses an astonishing 36 Tories of inappropriate sexual behaviour.
It mirrors allegations detailed in a WhatsApp group revealed by the Sun a week ago, with the list including two Cabinet Ministers and 18 serving Ministers.
Another 12 MPs are accused of behaving inappropriately towards female staff, while four are alleged to have behaved inappropriately towards male researchers.
Accusations range from affairs to specific allegations such as one Minister said to be "handsy with women at parties", and a backbencher who is "perpetually intoxicated and very inappropriate with women".
Another is alleged to have paid off a woman, and one former senior Tory was said to have propositioned his secretary by asking her to “come and feel the length of my c**k”.
A Cabinet minister is also alleged to have placed his hand on the thigh of a female journalist and said "God, I love those t*ts".
The unverified list also alleges a video is circulating of one Tory backbencher engaged in an extreme sex act with three men.
Two are accused of using the services of prostitutes, and a prominent female MP is accused of having extramarital sex with young male researchers.
A former researcher involved in drawing up the spreadsheet told it was intended to “determine how extensive this issue is and especially how many ministers could potentially be involved”.
They added: “If half of them face allegations and have to stand down it could bring down the government.”
But amid the fresh wave of allegations one MP told the Mail the claims should not be confused with the very serious accusations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
It comes as the Prime Minister is offering to hold talks with Commons Speaker John Bercow today on overhauling disciplinary procedures in a bid to tackle the deepening scandal.
The dossier, put together by Tory aides, follows attempts by some senior politicians to dismiss the Sun's explosive revelations from a week ago, when we revealed researchers and worried aides had put together a list of MPs to avoid on social media.
Allies of Theresa May insisted she would fire any Cabinet Minister found to be a sex pest, but she came under intense criticism from her own side for failing to take tougher action against two Tories humiliated over the weekend.
Former Welsh Minister Stephen Crabb admitted sending "explicit" messages in 2013 to a 19 year-old who applied for a job.
And Trade Minister Mark Garnier admitted he had called a former aide "sugar t*ts" and asked her to buy vibrators from a sex shop on his behalf.
Labour MPs Jess Phillips and John Mann both demanded Mr Garnier and Mr Crabb's suspension.
Mr Mann said: “Garnier should be sacked as a minister obviously; that would be sufficient. He (Crabb) should be booted out too: what is Theresa May waiting for?”
And one senior Minister told the Sun "he has to go" - but Mr Garnier has dismissed the allegations against him as "high jinks".
However in response Mrs May has ordered a Cabinet Office inquiry into whether he had breached the ministerial code.
They come from his former House of Commons secretary Caroline Edmondson – and the father-of-three does not deny the claims, but said the incidents were taken out of context.
Mr Garnier, 53, said the use of the name “sugar t*ts” was part of “an amusing conversation” and referenced the BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey.
The former banker also said he purchased vibrators with Ms Edmondson at a Soho sex shop as part of “good humoured high jinks”.
He told the Mail on Sunday that he had fallen out with his ex-employee, who now works for former Cabinet Minister John Whittingdale, and she has “been using [the incident] against me ever since.”
Mr Garnier said in the current Harvey Weinstein-climate, this could “look like dinosaur behaviour” but said “in the context of the time, we got on fine.”
The wealthy Brexiteer “vehemently denies sexual harassment” - but Ms Edmondson has called Mr Garnier a “s**t” claiming he “lied” saying he suggested they buy the vibrators while drinking in the Commons bar.
She said: “The next day, he said, 'Come on, let’s do it.' He took me to Soho and gave me the money to buy two vibrators.
“He stood outside the shop while I did. He said one was for his wife and the other was for a woman who worked in his constituency office.”
Yesterday it was also revealed ex-Cabinet minister and devout Christian Mr Crabb sent sexually explicit messages to the teenager who applied to work in his Commons office.
The 44-year-old, who ran for Tory leader last year, admitted saying “pretty outrageous things” after the interview, which is the second time the dad-of-two has been caught sending explicit messages to a young woman while married.
A friend of Mr Crabb's new victim said she saw two messages in which he said that he “wanted to have sex” with her friend, accusing him of an “abuse of his position of power”.
Mr Crabb said the pair met on “several occasions” and both sent messages knowing “nothing like that was actually going to happen between us”.
Reacting to the allegations Mr May has sent a letter to Mr Bercow, saying the current grievance system for dealing with complaints by MPs' staff lacked "teeth" as there was no contractual requirement for MPs to follow its procedures.
She wrote: "I do not believe that this situation can be tolerated any longer. It is simply not fair on staff, many of whom are young and in their first job post-education.
"It is vital that the staff and the public have confidence in Parliament and resolving this employment irregularity on a cross-party basis can play an important role in this.
"I would be grateful if you would be able to use your office to assist me in doing all we can to ensure that the reputation of Parliament is not damaged further by allegations of impropriety."
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable signalled his support for Mrs May's initiative, saying: "Parliament clearly needs improved procedures to respond to allegations of harassment."
The former chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, Sir Alistair Graham, also backed the move but warned against making the system too complicated, and questioned Mrs May's suggestion of a mediation system.
"This could be a turning point," he told BBC Radio 4's Westminster Hour.
"But the danger is you just get an accretion of more and more systems which just makes the whole arrangement unworkable - which is why I'm a great believer in simplicity, clarity, and making sure that when complaints are made they're investigated very quickly."
Meanwhile Jeremy Corbyn’s office has received an abuse complaint about a standing MP, the Sun can reveal.
Sources confirmed Labour was investigating the claims just 24 hours after the leftie leader condemned Westminster’s “warped” culture.
The said: “Any complaints are dealt with in the strictest confidence and it would not be appropriate to share details relating to these cases.”
Labour insiders told the Sun there were allegations sweeping Westminster about at least two of the party’s backbench MPs, with one adding: “I know at least one who is absolutely bricking it.”
