Warburton also faces allegations of sexual harassment and cocaine use, detailed in a report by <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-mp-david-warburton-suspended-after-sex-and-drugs-allegations-h3t8ghj0q">the Sunday Times</a>, which published a photograph that it said showed the MP sitting next to an oven tray covered with lines of the Class A drug.The paper said he had failed to declare a loan of more than £100,000 from the Russian-born businessman Roman Joukovski, a British citizen who worked as an investment banker.However <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/03/david-warburton-goes-into-psychiatric-hospital-after-suspension-from-tory-party">the Guardian reported the 2017 loan </a>was "closer to £150,000". The loan, for a holiday rental property, was repaid in full with a "high interest rate" of 8%. Warburton told <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/04/02/tory-mp-david-warburton-has-whip-withdrawn-amid-investigation/">the Sunday Telegraph</a> he had "enormous amounts of defence" for the allegations against him, and denied any wrongdoing.Warburton had the whip withdrawn following the Sunday Times report. <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whips-were-warned-about-david-warburton-weeks-before-mp-s-drugs-and-sexual-harassment-scandal-900tshmkq">The Times</a> reported whips were informed of the allegations of sexual harassment and drug use at least a fortnight ago.The MP has never declared the loan in his entry on the register of members' financial interests. But in <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem/180205/Updates%20-%2023%20January%20-%205%20February%202018.pdf">February 2018</a>, he declared he was receiving rental income of more than £10,000 a year from a property worth more than £100,000 for a residential property in Somerset. His entry said he had acquired the property on September 14 2017 and started receiving rental income from December 6 2017.Warburton, with his wife Harriet Warburton, who works for him on a taxpayer-funded parliamentary salary of up to £40,000, are both listed on Companies House as controllers of the property firm Oflang.The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) refused to certify Joukovski as a "fit and proper person" in 2014, <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-mp-david-warburton-suspended-after-sex-and-drugs-allegations-h3t8ghj0q">the Sunday Times reported</a>. Joukovski's firm, Dolfin Financial UK Ltd, was banned from engaging in regulated activity by the FCA in 2021.Warburton organised a meeting between Joukovski and then backbench MP Jacob Rees-Mogg in Parliament's Pugin Room in 2017, according to emails seen by <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-mp-david-warburton-suspended-after-sex-and-drugs-allegations-h3t8ghj0q">the Sunday Times</a>. The newspaper said emails showed Warburton knew of the FCA's refusal to certify Joukovski at the time of the meeting.His failure to declare the loan could lead to an investigation by Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary commissioner for standards.<a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmcode/1882/188204.htm">Parliamentary rules</a> stipulate that while personal loans generally do not need to be declared, "both the possible motive of the giver and the use to which the gift is to be put should be considered. If there is any doubt, the benefit should be registered."The rules also say that the exemption for personal loans is only if it "could not reasonably be thought by others to be related to membership of the House". Access to the Pugin Room in Parliament is restricted to MPs and their guests.

Tory MP suspended amid allegations he took an undeclared loan of close to £150k from a Russian businessman

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Joe Lederer/NetflixPatrick Warburton plays Lemony Snicket, the narrator on Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."</div></div></div>Patrick Warburton's path to Netflix's "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" was just as unique as the role he plays on the unconventional drama series.Based on the best-selling novels by Daniel Handler, the show stars Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, who mistakenly becomes the guardian to three young children after their parents die in a fire and plans to steal their inheritances. Warburton plays the show's stylish, deadpan narrator Lemony Snicket."You never give anything away as Lemony," Warburton recently told Business Insider. "It can't be cute. It can't be clever. It can't be any of these things. It just has to be just very honest and forthcoming, and everything else is in the words. As an actor, you always want to gussy things up a bit and things, but one of the tricks of Lemony is very much being reserved."The show's executive producer Barry Sonnenfeld ("Men in Black," "Get Shorty") offered Warburton the part in a very casual and modern way."Barry sent me a text: 'Can you come to Vancouver for five months and do my Netflix series?'" Warburton remembers.Two important things had to come together for Warburton to receive such a casual job offer. He and Sonnenfeld built a relationship after working together on a number of projects, including the Fox (and now Amazon) comedy "The Tick," and the films "Big Trouble," "Joe Somebody," "Scream 3," and "Men in Black 2." The other factor involved Warburton's 1999 movie, "The Woman Chaser.""Unbeknownst to me, ['Lemony Snicket' author] Daniel Handler actually went to go see a screening of 'The Woman Chaser' in San Francisco about 10 years ago," the actor said. "So it was this film that I think inspired Daniel Handler to consider me as Lemony Snicket in the series. You never know." <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Columbia TriStar TelevisionPatrick Warburton, left, and David Burke on Fox's "The Tick."</div></div></div>Warburton told us he would have loved to accept the role at the time Sonnenfeld made the offer, but it took him his own series of events to free him up.At the time, he was under contract with NBC and starring on its comedy "Crowded." He was also slated to reprise his starring role on "The Tick" for Amazon's revival.In the end, NBC canceled "Crowded" and let Warburton out of his contract."I was grateful to the folks at NBC," he said.And as for "The Tick," Amazon decided to go in a different direction with the new show."I was certainly interested [in 'The Tick' role]," Warburton said, "but they wanted to redo it from the ground up, which I wholly understand."The actor was happy to finally accept Sonnenfeld's offer after his dance card opened up."Anything that Barry's doing, I'd jump at the opportunity," Warburton said. "So I was thrilled to get it and terribly curious. Barry is a great storyteller when it comes to translating property like this to the screen, and it's just fun to watch." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-hidden-movie-categories-2017-1">There are 76,000 secret categories hidden in Netflix - here's how to see all of them</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="0wbGpjMDE6TtKj0-mDKztKc8UIFArunZ" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

<ul class="summary-list"><li>22 Tory MPs who voted to overhaul the standards process had been probed by Parliament's watchdog.</li><li>19 of the 22 had claims against them upheld by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.</li></ul>22 Conservative MPs who voted for to overhaul Parliament's standards processes have been investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, research by Insider has found.British lawmakers voted Wednesday on a backbench amendment to a motion that would have suspended Owen Paterson, a Conservative MP, from the House of Commons for 30 days.The 30-day suspension was recommended by the Standards Committee after it found Paterson committed an "egregious" breach of the rules by lobbying the government on behalf of companies paying him a £100,000 a year salary.But in an extraordinary intervention, Boris Johnson's government instructed Conservative MPs to support an amendment that paused Paterson's punishment and introduced a process to overhaul the Parliamentary standards regime.Of the 250 Tory MPs that voted for the amendment, 22 MPs are either under current investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards or have had allegations upheld against them since the 2019 general election.The amendment only passed by 18 votes, meaning if these MPs had abstained, the amendment would have failed.The following 19 MPs <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/complaints-and-investigations/allegations-the-commissioner-has-rectified/rectifications-latest/">have had allegations upheld against them</a>:<ul><li>Adam Afriyie</li><li>Scott Benton</li><li>Crispin Blunt</li><li>Peter Bone</li><li>Maria Caulfield</li><li>Robert Courts</li><li>Richard Drax</li><li>David Duguid</li><li>Iain Duncan Smith</li><li>Mark Francois</li><li>George Freeman</li><li>Adam Holloway</li><li>Karl McCartney</li><li>Natalie Elphicke</li><li>Roger Gale</li><li>Theresa Villiers</li><li>Bob Stewart</li><li>Chloe Smith</li><li>Craig Tracey</li></ul>The following three are <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/complaints-and-investigations/allegations-currently-under-investigation-by-the-commissioner/">currently under investigation</a>:<ul><li>James Cleverly</li><li>Daniel Kawczynski</li><li>David Warburton</li></ul>Downing Street said they hope to see an appeals process introduced in the interest of "natural justice", but deny their support for the amendment today had anything to do with Paterson.Labour and the Scottish National Party have said they will not be taking their seats in the new select committee, leaving it solely to the Conservatives.Wendy Chamberlain, the Liberal Democrat chief whip, told Insider: "The Government's decision to whip the vote supporting Owen Paterson is shameful. The report was the outcome of an investigation that clearly concluded he had broken the rules. It was fair and independent."I stood in the voting lobby with several Conservative colleagues who clearly disagreed with their own government. The fact that the margin of success can be accounted for by those who are under investigation or have had complaints upheld, shows that governments and MPs should not be allowed to mark their own homework."Climate Change and coming out of the Pandemic are just two issues where trust in politicians is essential. Owen Paterson and the Government's defence of him will inevitably damage what little trust is left."Angela Rayner, the Labour deputy leader, <a href="https://twitter.com/AngelaRayner/status/1455936843216834565">said after the vote that the Conservatives</a> "voted to give a green light to corruption" and "brought shame on our democracy."

22 Tory MPs who were investigated or punished by Parliament's watchdog joined the vote to overhaul it

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Senior Tories have said the MP alleged to have watched porn in the Commons should be expelled if found guilty.</li><li>Allegations surfaced Tuesday night during a parliamentary meeting, prompting an investigation.</li></ul>The Conservative MP accused of watching watched porn on his phone in the House of Commons in view of a female minister should be expelled from the party as a "minimum," senior Tories have said. The claims, which surfaced at a meeting of Conservative parliamentarians Tuesday night, have been referred to the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme.A Conservative Party spokesperson said the chief whip, Chris Heaton-Harris, would take "appropriate action" after the probe has concluded. According to both <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2Ftop-tory-caught-watching-porn-26810579%3Fs%3D08">The Mirror</a> and <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/18388917/tory-mp-caught-watching-porn-in-commons/">The Sun</a>, the unnamed man was seen watching porn on his phone while sitting in the chamber. After the female minister's accusation, there was a "blood-letting" of stories about other incidents about the man, the Mirror reported.One MP who attended the meeting told Insider it was "quite the moment."Nicky Morgan, a former culture secretary and women and equalities minister who now sits in the Lords, said she was "shocked" by the news, calling it a "bit of a jaw dropper."Morgan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there was an "element of almost aggression about it as well."If the allegations are proven, the individual should be expelled from the party as a "minimum," she added. Her views were echoed by Ben Wallace, the UK's defence secretary, who said the alleged culprit could "lose the whip ... so they could no longer belong to the Conservative Party.""That usually means they can't be reselected as an MP," he told BBC Radio 4."If they're a government minister they could lose their job. It would be for the House authorities to define what is an appropriate level of punishment for that type of behaviour." Morgan also hit out at the "male culture" that presides in parliament, saying <keyword id="6390075" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sexism" source="Orion">sexism</keyword> and misogyny was "not just an issue on Conservative benches" but "across the House."Suella Braverman, the attorney general, told the BBC she was "ashamed" that the individual had worn a Conservative rosette. She stressed it was "a very small minority of men, and it is men, who fall short," adding: "There are some bad apples who are out of order, who behave like animals and bring parliament into disrepute to be honest." It comes amid a brewing scandal around sexual misconduct, referred to as "Pestminster 2.0" – a reference to the original scandal that blew up in 2017, which led to the <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/westminster-sexual-harassment-how-did-the-scandal-begin-and-why-did-michael-fallon-resign-a3674211.html">resignation of then-defence secretary Michael Fallon</a>.This time around <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suspended-tory-mp-took-six-figure-loan-from-russian-businessman-2022-4?r=US&amp;IR=T">David Warburton, MP for Somerton and Frome, is one of the few who has been named</a> as facing sexual harrassment claims. The MP, who has had the whip withdrawn, denies any wrongdoing.During PMQs on Wednesday, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas used her question to highlight that 56 MPs are currently under investigation for allegations of a sexual nature. "The Prime Minister has just rightly said that there can be no place for sexism and misogyny in this House, so can he now confirm whether he considers that sexual harassment, apparently unlike bullying and lying, is grounds for dismissal under the ministerial code?" she asked. <keyword id="11911533" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="boris-johnson" source="Orion">Boris Johnson</keyword> replied: "Of course sexual harassment is intolerable and it is quite right that members should now have a procedure by which they can bring that to the attention of the House authorities and I think that is a good thing, and of course it is grounds for dismissal."Speaking about the latest allegation after this Commons clash, a spokeswoman for Johnson added: "The chief whip is looking into this matter. This behaviour is wholly unacceptable and action will be taken."

In its list of 287 individuals, the Kremlin has targeted current ministers including Cabinet Office minister Steve Barclay, minister for Brexit opportunities Jacob Rees-Mogg, trade minister Penny Mordaunt, and solicitor general Alex Chalk, as well as senior MPs such as Jeremy Hunt, Steve Baker, David Davis and Julian Lewis. However Russia has also gone after Rory Stewart, Dominic Grieve and Sarah Wollaston, who haven't been MPs since the 2019 election, and Charlie Elphicke, who stepped down after being found guilty on three counts of sexual assault. In another error, Tory MP Heather Wheeler's name appears twice, as the 18th and 206th entries, meaning there are actually just 286 names on the list.

Theresa May, the former prime minister, was also on the initial list. "Taking into account London's bet on the consistent strengthening of anti-Russian sanctions, work on countermeasures, including the expansion of the Russian 'stop list,' will continue," it added. Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions shortly after the list was published, Boris Johnson said those on the list "should regard it as a badge of honour".He vowed that the UK "keep up our robust and principled support for the Ukrainian people and their right to protect their lives, their families, and to defend themselves".Chris Bryant, the senior Labour MP and prominent critic of the Putin regime, told the Commons he was "absolutely distressed that I am not on the list… and if I am honest slightly surprised". He added: "I can only assume the Russian Federation accepts every single thing I have said about President Putin over the last few years is true. He is a barbarous villain and we should make sure he fails."Peter Bone, one of the Tory MPs to feature on the list, said: "I am proud to have supported <keyword id="11985141" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ukraine" source="Orion">Ukraine</keyword> and its people. I condemn Russia for its barbaric invasion.

Russia sanctions almost 300 British MPs in retaliatory move, but its list includes several errors

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Pestminster" rumours were reignited by the arrest of a male MP accused of rape and sexual assault.</li><li>MPs told Insider of times they were harassed, and widespread rumors of wrongdoing.</li></ul>When the news broke on Tuesday evening that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-politican-under-police-investigation-amid-reports-lawmaker-arrest-2022-5?r=US&amp;IR=T">a Conservative MP had been arrested on suspicion of "indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust, and misconduct in public office,</a>" naturally people began asking who it was.Names quickly circulated throughout <keyword id="13969751" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="westminster" source="Orion">Westminster</keyword>, while others trended on social media.Rumours have been floating around about one current minister for several months – and this individual was soon texting other MPs to clear his name, sources told Insider. Those sources asked not to be named to frankly describe the conversations.Another MP's name was suggested as a possible match, a man who was alleged to have raped a staffer. But one source told Insider the victim there "was not going to the police apparently," seeming to rule the name out.Consensus built up quickly around a third MP whose profile seemed to fit with the dates the alleged offences are said to have taken place.That these claims circulate freely and in such number is a sign that many in Westminster consider sexual abuse an endemic feature of working at the top level of UK <keyword id="11893346" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="politics" source="Orion">politics</keyword>.For now, it appears the name will remain secret. The Tory chief whip, Chris Heaton-Harris, does know the man's identity, but did not name him. Instead the accused MP was ordered to stay away from Parliament until the police investigation has concluded.There may also be legal reasons not to name the accused MP, as it could lead to alleged victims being identified, in breach of UK law.The fact that so many MPs could plausibly be believed by their colleagues to be an alleged rapist speaks to a wider problem in what some term "Pestminster," a reference to a widespread and longrunning culture of sexual misconduct.There are the known cases, several of which involve Conservative politicians: Imran Ahmad Khan, who was found <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61113265">guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy</a>; David Warburton, who has been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suspended-tory-mp-took-six-figure-loan-from-russian-businessman-2022-4?r=US&amp;IR=T">suspended over sexual harassment allegations</a>; <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conservative-british-mp-resign-after-he-watched-porn-parliament-2022-4?r=US&amp;IR=T">Neil Parish, who resigned after being outed as the porn-watching MP</a>; Rob Roberts, who is back in the Commons having received a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conservative-party-research-group-still-working-disgraced-mp-rob-roberts-2021-8?r=US&amp;IR=T">six-week suspension for sexually harassing a staff member</a>; Andrew Griffiths, who was found to have <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/dec/10/former-conservative-mp-andrew-griffiths-raped-wife-family-court-finds">raped and abused his wife</a>; Charlie Elphicke, who was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/30/ex-mp-charlie-elphicke-convicted-of-sexual-assault">jailed for two years for having sexually assaulted three women</a>. Labour is not immune, with cases involving MPs such as Mike Hill, who stepped down after a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jul/08/ex-labour-mp-mike-hill-facing-possible-criminal-inquiry-sexual-assault-claims">tribunal found he had sexually assaulted a staffer</a>.The SNP, meanwhile, is still in the midst of a row about having allowed former <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/patrick-grady-snp-sexual-harassment-26916637">chief whip Patrick Grady continue in his job</a> as the party attempted to resolve harassment allegations internally. Beyond named individuals, there are also cases that are whispered about, extending far beyond the allegations that became public on Wednesday night. <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/three-cabinet-ministers-face-sexual-misconduct-claims-c8t58nhxx" target="_blank" title="Link to report" rel="noopener">The Sunday Times reported last month</a> that three unnamed members of Johnson's cabinet were among 56 MPs facing allegations of sexual misconduct, and had also been reported to Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme.MPs told Insider that some colleagues have to have a "minder" to ensure they don't harass people in Westminster bars.Sources, including a former Labour whip, said there is a list in circulation of MPs whom either women or men – sometimes both – are advised not to be alone with. One male backbencher told Insider about a recent instance where he was harassed by another male MP, to the extent that party whips had to intervene. The stories run on, including one about a senior backbencher who sent inappropriate messages to a female staffer.There is another about two MPs who, colleagues say, fell out because one of them "stole" the other's favourite "rent boy."There are tales of "frat boy" parties at MPs' London flats, fuelled with booze and cocaine and an "anything goes" approach to sex. Also part of the picture are the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-hidden-drinking-problem-in-uk-parliament-2022-3?r=US&amp;IR=T">MPs whose problem drinking</a> is said to be linked to multiple affairs, sometimes involving aides in their employ, opening the door to questions about that inherent imbalance of power.Among serving MPs, the return of this narrative of sexual abuse is provoking weariness, anger and frustration that they may be "tainted" by some of their colleagues. Many fear more scandals are yet to come out.And while the rumours rattle around the place, action remains slow and limited. The latest case, for example, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-politican-under-police-investigation-amid-reports-lawmaker-arrest-2022-5?r=US&amp;IR=T">was first raised with the police in 2020</a>.One female backbencher told Insider: "It won't be the last, sadly... This is why we need more women."Another said that after the delay in sanctioning Parish, the MP who watched porn in parliament, the whips' office should have be more pro-active in this latest case. "I am v unhappy that [he is] not suspended," the MP told Insider. "Whoever it is in police custody."A male Conservative MP told Insider there will "probably be half a dozen rapists [named] this year", and that he was fed up with "all rumour and sadness". <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/neil-parish-loses-tory-whip-over-allegations-he-watched-porn-in-parliament-2022-4?r=US&amp;IR=T">The delay in naming Parish</a> led to speculation about who had been watching porn in the Commons chamber.When the Tiverton MP was eventually named, another Conservative whose name had been linked with the scandal told the party's WhatsApp group that "a small number of colleagues owe me an apology", messages seen by Insider confirm. During Wednesday's PMQs the benches behind Boris Johnson were packed full of male MPs – something sources said was a sign that men of a certain age were looking to stop wagging tongues."I hate some of my colleagues and not sure I can stand again," the male Tory source added. "<keyword id="13969750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sleaze" source="Orion">Sleaze</keyword> is corrosive... Winning the election is easy enough, it is living with it [that's the problem]. I don't ever want people wondering if it is me."

The software gives practices and hospitals access to a bank of up to 40,000 doctors that are looking for work and removes the need for potentially expensive recruitment agencies.English <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/09/nhs-agency-staff-spending/" target="_blank">NHS providers spent an estimated £3.7 billion on locum doctors</a> and nurses in 2015-16. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has criticised "rip-off staffing agencies" for charging extortionate rates.The latest funding round for the Shoreditch-based company came from venture capital firms BGF Ventures, Beringea, Piton, Samos, and Playfair Capital, bringing total investment in Network Locum up to £8.5 million.Melissa Morris, cofounder and CEO of Network Locum, told Business Insider: "We had more than one offer but I was terrified we would be affected by Brexit."The former NHS worker added: "We got more than we wanted and more than doubled our valuation from our A round, which was only eight months ago."Morris, who employs 45 people, said she plans to use the funding to drive sales and marketing, as well as to accelerate Network Locum's product roadmap. "We just hired the head of UK sales from Just Eat, David Warburton," she added.Simon Calver, founding partner of BGF Ventures, said in a statement: "The fact that BGF Ventures was confident enough to make this significant investment just a week after the unexpected vote to leave the EU underlines the fact that the UK has a network of tech investors who are still ready and willing to commit to the best ideas and entrepreneurs in the UK's tech scene."Leaving the EU raises lots of challenges for the tech community but it does not distract us from our primary purpose of investing in the most promising companies and individuals with global ambitions that we can find."Several other UK tech companies have also raised funding since the UK voted to leave the European Union on June 23 but this is one of the largest deals that we've come across. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-ios-android-annoying-problem-2016-6">The most annoying thing about the iPhone isn't changing any time soon</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="VibW5jNDE69GzqusUkQ8TPgI7rpDSkvZ" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
