Blunt deleted the tweet and his statement.
@Conservatives - Sack him.
His harrassment and abuse of women, subversion parliamentary procedure and yesterday's statement show he is unfit to be an MP.

@Conservatives The evidence from the other man Khan assaulted and from the boy and his family is clear. Blunt is making excuses for a sexual predator. He formally complained about a fellow Conservative for expressing her legally protected views on women's rights. He is a disgrace.
The jury belived the evidnce that Khan, twice the age of the boy forced the youngster to drink gin, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before touching his feet and legs, coming within a “hair’s breadth” of his privates. thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/20043876.…
There are many layers to the #Covid19UK human catastrophe but IMO it’s all DELIBERATE @mrjamesob
Not even @BorisJohnson is so ignorant that he can’t understand the seriousness of what is currently unfolding.
The crux is - HE WANTS IT TO HAPPEN!

If you were looking for the perfect foil for the #BrexitShambles & #NHSPrivatisation in one fell swoop AND you wanted to divert attention from the cronyism & corruption being uncovered every single day….you’d create as much chaos, fear & desperation as possible….

You’d allow #COVIDDisinformation to run riot, including from the @UKHSA (& conveniently replace #PHE), whilst churning out a #COVIDisOver narrative through a compliant media.

Thread. We can’t trust our MPs and ministers. We need an #IntegrityAct. Here’s how I think it should work. What are your views?

We have the standards we need. The ministerial code and the principles of public life (often known as the #NolanPrinciples). They are fit for purpose. They just need to be enforced.
Read them. It takes but a moment. 2/13

The principles of public life need to be independently enforced. And they should apply not just to MPs and ministers, but to any staff they employ. And the MPs and ministers should be responsible for the behaviour of their assistants. #IntegrityAct 3/13.
For anyone who hasn’t realised just how deep the #BackToNormal lunacy runs, take a look at some of the “nearly 50” @Conservatives who are actively supporting @UsforThemUK’s dangerous & irresponsible campaign to make 🏴schools #COVID19 MITIGATION-FREE!

The ring-leader is @SteveBakerHW, of #CRG AND #ERG fame. Neither he or his #CRG mate @Mark_J_Harper appear to have any understanding of #airborne viral transmission.
Mr Harper’s clearly also a fan of the unscientific & reckless #LivingWithCovid mindset.

But it’d be unfair to give @halfon4harlowMP ALL the credit for causing unnecessary harm & suffering.
Several other high profile @Conservatives are members of the @UsforThemUK support group.
Some of the “usual suspects”-

Good afternoon @RishiSunak & @BorisJohnson
Claims that “we can’t control the spread of the virus.The virus is doing what’s doing….”, that we must learn to “live w/ #COVID” & exert “personal responsibility” are incorrect, disingenuous & dangerous!

What you actually mean is that YOU (& your government) have deliberately CHOSEN to prioritise the ECONOMY over the HEALTH & WELLBEING of the British ppl…..but are dishonestly & patronisingly pretending there is no other option?

W/ easy access to scientists & public health experts, anyone used to researching, looking for & assessing evidence, can find plentiful, accessible information on how to reduce #coronavirus transmission!

1. Good evening. I trust people have had an agreeable Easter. Before the sun sets, I have a question for ALL our councillors of any ilk, but in particular for those in our town's administration, where they think blocking people on Twitter fits in with the @PrinciplesNolan?
2. Any one not familiar with the Nolan Principles, here they are: askyourcouncil.uk/understanding-…
3. I ask, respectfully, how @CllrDavidRenard & @dale_heenan feel that blocking residents on Twitter fits with any or all of the #nolanprinciples but this one in particular?
#Newsnight digs up a clip of @David_Cameron (then PM) saying that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen".
Oops.

@David_Cameron .@campbellclaret on #Newsnight, saying that Johnson and his ministers regularly break all 7 of the #NolanPrinciples - and he finds it "scary" that no one seems, with this government, to care very much about those breaches of public standards, or to view them as scandals.
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret Prof Elizabeth David-Barrett says on #Newsnight that the matters around Cameron/Arcuri are not so much about rule-breaking as "declining [public] standards".
And she gives examples, including those around (lack of) transparency.

There is currently a lot of interest in the ministerial code and the #NolanPrinciples.
This thread highlights some of the data we’ve collected on potential breaches of ministerial and parliamentary rules.

.@DanielJBruce recently told the Committee on Standards in Public Life how we’d found 120 incidents since 2015 where either ministerial or parliamentary rules were potentially breached in Westminster.
Thirty of these incidents were in 2020.

Of these 30 cases, there are nine where it is alleged that the ministerial code may have been breached that include risks of #corruption.
