‘Opposition’s best weapon:’ Michael Fabricant wades into the Chris Pincher scandal

Michael Fabricant is someone people will look at in the future and think ‘what was that all about.’

To be fair, a lot of people might think like that now.

This time he had made some pretty terrible comments regarding the Chris Pincher scandal.

In his letter, Lord McDonald said: “Mr Johnson was briefed in person about the initiation and outcome of the investigation. There was a ‘formal complaint’.

“Allegations were ‘resolved’ only in the sense that the investigation was completed; Mr Pincher was not exonerated. To characterise the allegations as ‘unsubstantiated’ is therefore wrong”

He also retweeted this interview from yesterday in which Caroline Nokes

Also, this story about Pincher’s drunken behaviour, last week, is also troubling

And if that wasn’t enough he spouted similar nonsense on GB News.
