Clean up the toxic culture of harassment in Westminster
Please take immediate action to clean up the toxic culture of parliament, including considering:
- Banning MPs from parliament if under police investigation
for sexual misconduct
- Introducing compulsory training for MPs
- Closing the subsidised bars
- Changing how MPs offices are run
- Putting in more rigorous steps for the selection of
candidates
Why is this important?
MP Peter Bone is facing suspension after an investigation found the MP had bullied and was sexually inappropriate around a former parliamentary staff member.
This is just the latest example of misconduct within parliament. In June 2023, MP Geraint Davies was accused of multiple incidents of inappropriate behaviour towards junior female colleagues. The toxic culture in the House of Commons needs to be cleaned up.
We need hundreds of thousands of us to show those in charge that the public demands they clean up the toxic culture within Westminster and ensure our politicians are fit for service.
