She told Sky News: ‘I can remember a really prominent man – at the time the Conservative candidate for Teignbridge in Devon – smacking me on the backside about as hard as he could and going, ”oh, Romsey, you’ve got a lovely seat”.’
When asked by the radio broadcaster to comment, Johnson Sr. said: “I don’t remember Caroline Nokes.” But here you are. I received no response…good luck and many thanks.
Ms Nokes, the chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee, made the allegation during a cross-party panel about how to confront violence against women in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder.
She said, “I now consider it a responsibility, an absolute duty to call out where you see it.” Do not be the aggravating, loud and aggressive woman in this room. My daughter will never accept that I won’t do that.
The conversation also included Labour MPs Jess Philips & Rosena Allin Khan, as well Conservative MP Fay Jones.
Each politician also shared their personal experiences during the Sky News conversation.
