As the Sunday newspaper reported in its day, the politician had used drugs and had made “unwanted advances” of a sexual nature towards two women, who told the outlet.

In an interview published yesterday by the Mail on SundayWarburton admitted that he had taken cocaine after drinking an “incredibly potent” whiskey but denied harassing those women.

Warburton represented his constituents as independent deputy since the suspension of the conservatives.

His immediate departure will now lead to an election to fill that seat.

The deputy also regretted that the parliamentary body that regulates and oversees complaints had denied him the possibility of holding a hearing and had prevented him from “talking” while investigating the allegations.

The House of Commons today rejected these accusations, arguing that this body is “to ensure that all complaints are handled fairly, thoroughly, independently and efficiently.”

“We remain committed to ensuring that lasting cultural change takes place for all who work in Parliament,” a Commons spokesman said today.

In addition to Warburton, the former prime minister has also left their seats in recent days Boris Johnson, Nigel Adams and Nadine Dorries.
