Disgraced MP who quit after watching porn says Boris Johnson must face ‘reality’

Result shows ‘crisis of confidence’ in Tory leader, Neil Parish says

The disgraced former MP whose admission he watched porn in the House of Commons triggered a disastrous by-election defeat for Boris Johnson has told the prime minister to "face reality".

Neil Parish said the result showed a "crisis of confidence” in the Conservative leader in the wake of the partygate scandal.

In a stunning victory, the Liberal Democrats overturned a 24,000 Conservative majority to take the Devon seat of Tiverton and Honiton.
