Bar staff hit back at sex text MP

‘Obnoxious’ Tory shouted ‘do you know who I am?’

-

voice he went ‘I’m a Member of Parliament’ as if to say ‘I’ve got super powers’.

“It was as though he could throw his weight around and act in an appalling manner to please himself, while the little people had no say in it.

“He was just very condescend­ing and totally obnoxious. He’d spent the whole evening being obnoxious and bullish.”

Steve said police spoke to Mr Griffiths outside as he continued gesturing angrily. But an unnamed friend was adamant the MP had not acted angrily outside the venue. And a representa­tive for Mr Griffiths insisted he had not refused to leave. The MPs’ pals said that because it was cold he and his party had waited inside while a friend went to the loo. They said Mr Griffiths did not argue about leaving and did not say being an MP meant he could do as he pleased. Mr Griffiths resigned as Small Business Minister over his sex text shame, revealed by the Sunday Mirror. We told how in crude messages to the barmaids he detailed sick fantasies and paid them cash in exchange for racy photos. He demanded to be called “Daddy” as he boasted of the power he wielded in government. Mr Griffiths asked Imogen Treharne, 28, to beat her friend and recounted violent sexual encounters he claimed to have had with a woman he made dress as a pig.

Mr Griffiths, whose wife Kate, 47, gave birth to their first daughter earlier this year, has refused to stand down as an MP, triggering protests by constituen­ts.

They continued yesterday, when locals staged a demo asking him to quit. And last week Mr Griffiths’ local party asked him to reapply for his job as Burton and Uttoxeter MP after announcing a new selection process.

He threw his weight around... as if the ‘little people’have no say in it BOUNCER STEVE ON PUB BUST-UP WITH GRIFFITHS
