Conservative MP Caroline Nokes is sent ‘rape threat’ and branded a ‘Tory w***e’ after accusing Boris Johnson’s father Stanley of slapping her bottom at 2003 party conference
MailOnline by James Gant
The Tory MP who accused Boris Johnson’s father of slapping her bottom nearly 20 years ago has been targeted with rape threats.
Caroline Nokes MP shared the following vicious abuse that she was subject to online, after Stanley claimed to have groped and raped her in 2003.
It comes as Labour urged the Tories to launch a probe following claims from her and journalist Ailbhe Rea over an alleged incident in 2019.
Stanley first started to accuse Ms Nokes of forcing Stanley on her backside in the Tory Party conference 2003. He was running for MP.
The allegation led Ms Rea, political reporter for the European Parliament to claim that she was ‘groped’ by the former member at 2019 party conference.
Stanley refused to speak other than to state that he had ‘no recollection at all of Caroline Nokes’.
The Tories have not yet said if they will launch a probe and No. 10 has declined to comment about the allegations against the “private individual”.
Following her allegations, Ms Nokes exposed some of the cruel hate she had received via social media.
Twitter user She said: “And to.” [man’s name] – thank you for your email tonight: ”I wish he had raped you you filthy Tory wh***.”’
She continued: “That is the level that MPs of women have to deal every day.
She said, “What is it really accomplishing?”
It encourages les autres women (encourages other women) to speak out about things they have experienced, but I have also heard men say “bloody women”, because you don’t want to trust them anymore and that’s how we behave now.
“I don’t defend male sexual aggression, but it does make a difference in the end for women.
The comments were made by Ms Johnson while she was speaking with Anne Robinson, a former Weakest Link host – who previously fought against modern-day feminism as well as the #MeToo movement.
Johnson was recently stayed with Ms. Robinson and she described Johnson as her best friend. Ms. Robinson also shared her opinion on Ms. Nokes’ allegations.
She stated, “What I believe it is not was what I marched for.”
“I didn’t campaign for women whining twenty years later, and then suddenly remember something that had not upset them.”
“Why didn’t she tell me something?”
Ms Robinson said that her dad was perfectly secure. He feels very safe at my house.
Stanley Johnson’s allegations were made by Ms Nokes earlier in the month, an ex-immigration minister now chairing the Women and Equalities Committee.
In 2003, Johnson was accused of smacking her backside. He also made a comment at the Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool. This happened before he ran to become a Tory MP.
In 2005, Johnson was in preparation to stand for Romsey as Hampshire’s constituency representative. Johnson was also running for Teignbridge in Devon during the 2005 election.
“I remember an extremely prominent man hitting me in the backside. He was going so hard that he went, “Oh Romsey! You’ve got a beautiful seat Ms Nokes said Sky News.
Ailbhe Rea (journalist) claimed she was allegedly ‘groped’ by Johnson at the party conference 2019.
According to the New Statesman magazine, the journalist claimed that he had ‘groped her’ at Manchester’s party conference 2019, where Boris Johnson was Tory leader.
Stanley Johnson said to The Sun that he had no memory of Caroline Nokes or any idea about what Caroline was talking.
‘Had I been asked about the allegation made by the journalist of the New Statesman, I would have said the same thing.’

There have been calls to investigate the conduct of Johnson.
Labour has called for ‘criminal authorities’ to investigate the claims during a panel discussion on Sky News among four female MPs about abuse of women.
It was also revealed that Mr Johnson could lose his position as an environment ambassador due to the allegations.
The powerful Conservative Environment Network, of which he is international ambassador, said: ‘The alleged behaviour is not acceptable.’
Anne-Marie Trevelyan is Boris Johnson’s International Trade Secretary. She also offered her opinion, applauding Ms Nokes’ for speaking up.
Ms Trevelyan stated that women have had to cope with “casual sexism and the wandering hands” for too long.
Ms Trevelyan stated that she was very, very happy that Ms Nokes raised this allegation and added: “It should always been called out.”
Sky News asked Ms Trevelyan if Mr Johnson would face an investigation. She said that although she was leaving Caroline for that, they have a system that is robust and I’m hopeful that she can work with that party machine.
“But, more generally, this is something all women, not just in political life, but all walks of life, have to endure the casual sexism and wandering hands that are completely unacceptable.
Last week, Boris Johnson was grilled about sexual harassment claims against his father when he appeared before Parliament’s liaison committee of senior MPs.
Caroline Nokes met the Prime Minister in the face this afternoon. Caroline Nokes had claimed previously that Johnson’s senior, aged 81, had inappropriately touched and touched her in 2003.
In her role as chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, Ms Nokes was also included.
Ms Nokes put it to the Prime Minister: ‘Isn’t it fair to say that if public sexual harassment was a specific crime, you might see women with more confidence to come forward?’
Mr Johnson replied: ‘All women should have confidence to come forward… and there are proper procedures for those claims and complaints to be investigated.’
The MP asked: ‘Should we not intervene earlier, before those harassing women become sex offenders?’
The PM said: ‘We need to prosecute people more effectively for things that are already criminal.’
Boris Johnson’s dad Stanley backs down after Nigel Farage highlighted Beijing’s close ties to him – by saying he has plans for a trip across China
Brendan Carlin is the Mail on Sunday’s Editor
Boris Johnson’s father Stanley has responded to criticisms from Nigel Farage over his close links to China – by revealing that he is now planning a trek across the Communist state.
The admission came after the former Ukip leader demanded last week to know why Mr Johnson Snr was ‘yet again’ at the Chinese Embassy in London.
Mr Farage, now a presenter on GB News, has previously raised concerns over the Prime Minister’s closeness to Beijing and the ‘mysterious role’ of his father, who he said appeared to act as an ‘interlocutor’ between the Chinese embassy and No 10.

In an interview earlier this year, Mr Farage even asked if Mr Johnson Snr ‘financially benefits’ from China – a suggestion that Stanley Johnson branded wrong and ‘totally unforgivable’.
But Mr Farage returned to the issue last week after spotting that the PM’s father had posted a photo on his Instagram page of a meeting at the Chinese Embassy.
Mr Farage tweeted: ‘Why is the PM’s father at the Chinese Embassy yet again?’
On his Instagram page, Mr Johnson had written: ‘With China’s ambassador to the Court of St James, his Excellency Zheng Zequang, Political Councillor Zhang Limin and OneTribe TV CEO Dale Templar at Chinese Embassy, London.’
However, when challenged by The Mail on Sunday yesterday, the PM’s father revealed that he had been asking permission from the Chinese to complete an expedition he started 60 years ago to travel in the footsteps of Venetian adventurer and merchant Marco Polo.

Johnson stated that he began a Marco Polo-style trip in 1961 with Tim Severin. He was riding motorbikes through Europe, Turkey, and Iran, but had to stop near the Afghan border with China.
‘We got right up to the Chinese border but we weren’t able to finish the journey,’ he said.
But now the plan was to complete the epic trip by travelling from the western edge of China and then travelling to Beijing, taking in the Great Wall of China – in an environmentally friendly, electric-powered vehicle if possible.
Told of Mr Farage’s question on Twitter, Mr Johnson toyed last night with inviting him to join him in China.
He said: ‘At the very least, Nigel should meet us either on the way or when we arrive in Beijing and we should have a serious toast to the success of China/UK friendship and of course, Marco Polo.’
Ironically, Stanley Johnson’s China trip plans emerged as his PM son was reported to be considering a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing next year in protest at China’s record on human rights.
But a Government spokeswoman stressed last night that ‘no decisions have yet been made’.
She added that ‘as the PM has previously said, the UK has long been opposed to sporting boycotts’.
