Davis ‘leered at MP and dodges work’

- BY BEN GLAZE Deputy Political Editor

A FORMER top aide to David Davis yesterday sensationa­lly accused him of “drunkenly leering” over Diane Abbott and dodging work.

The Brexit Secretary’s ex-chief of staff James Chapman said he works “a three-day week”and has ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage “on speed dial”.

Mr Davis said: “Not on speed dial, I’ve got his number somewhere.

“All this stuff, this is the small change of politics.”

Mr Chapman said: “I was with DD when he leered over [Diane Abbott]. He was drunk, bullying and inappropri­ate.” Mr Davis was accused of leaning in to kiss Shadow Home Secretary Ms Abbott in a Commons bar earlier this year, before she told him to “f*** off”.

Mr Chapman added: “Brexiteers asking if I have ‘gone mad’. Well, I am incandesce­nt at what they’ve done to my children’s country.”
