Has Sky published the letter in which she apparently raises concerns? It’s reported that,
Carrie Johnson openly questioned Chris Pincher’s suitability as whip in 2017, Sky News understands
Carrie Johnson openly questioned Chris Pincher’s suitability as a government whip as far back as 2017, Sky News understands.
While communications director at CCHQ in 2017, Mrs Johnson (then Ms Symonds) questioned how Mr Pincher had ever ended up in the whips’ office in correspondence seen by Sky News.
The exchanges followed Mr Pincher’s resignation as assistant whip after claims of unwanted sexual advances from a Tory candidate.
Mr Pincher referred himself to the police and the Conservative Party complaints procedure and was later cleared of wrongdoing.
Theresa May reappointed Mr Pincher to the whips’ office in 2018.
A Number 10 spokesperson said: “Mrs Johnson is a private individual and has no role in ministerial appointments.”
Suitability as a government whip? That could be for a whole host of reasons. Why not question his suitability as an MP if her concerns were related to sexual harassment?
Why the fuck is she questioning anything? Who even is she? Some strange comments on here. No one’s spouse should influence their recruitment in work. Least of all the fucking government
Given how rumours, allegations, formal investigations and actual censures have followed Pincher around for years, I think it’s safe to say, in all likelihood that is the reason for M’Lady’s objections
