#NEILPARISH
Tory Neil Parish has been named as the MP accused of watching pornography in the Commons and has had the whip removed pending investigation. @mollyjake3 asked: “Was that suspended or suspenders?” @andrewyesudian wrote: “Tories have always been strong on family values.” @k4bladesagain asked: “Can't he claim it was an honest mistake?” @cart_mandua replied: “I have had porn tweeted on to my timeline on [Twitter] ... have immediately reported and blocked but I had no control over it. He needs to explain before he is condemned” @hohninpompano wrote: “I hope his phone has been kept so that his innocence or guilt can be established. If that goes missing or isn't checked, he's guilty. I don't mind what he does in the privacy of his own home, I do mind when he's supposed to be fighting for my wellbeing.” @colin899dean wrote: “If he had been watching Naked Attraction he would have been checking the C4 public service remit.”
#BORISBECKER
Tennis star Boris Becker has been given over two years in prison for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding assets after he was declared bankrupt. @wakeynumberone wrote: “He should have got a job as a Tory MP then he would have got away with it.” @shieldsy1979 added: “What sort of racket was he trying to get away with?” @ashles3000 wrote: “Boris Becker: ‘Oh god, I'm so embarrassed, my shame will be all over the new – hang on, who is Neil Parish?’ ” @Deewo4 tweeted: “Doubt he thought the judge would serve that sentence...” @strowsdle said: “Ooh gutted! Was always my fave tennis player when I was growing up.” @Gertrude31 wrote: “And yet Katie Price has had multiple court appearances for both criminal and traffic crimes and walks free each time. Why? And yes, I know the courts are hard on fiscal crimes but he wasn't endangering anyone's life, was he?” @Paulgibbons7 tweeted: “Did nobody tell him to donate to the Conservative party!”
