That's the whole point. Johnson's cavalier attitudes towards staff issues and personal misbehaviour is probably fine if your an editor managing reporters, but not if you are in charge of a group that has to be held to the highest standards pf personal behaviour. He has many skills as a politician, but unless he starts listening to his senior advisors on managing No 10 staff and his cabinet, and dropping the old pals act when appointing people, he will never be an effective PM.

Lessons will be learnt!

Boris Johnson has been accused of turning a blind eye to claims of his deputy chief whip’s alleged sexual misconduct.
As more allegations of unwanted passes and groping emerged on Saturday night, The Telegraph can reveal that the Prime Minister’s decision to appoint Mr Pincher to help oversee party discipline in February prompted the resignation of Craig Whittaker, another senior whip.
A senior government source said: “He remonstrated over Pincher’s putative behaviour. He refused to serve. There was considerable ill feeling in the whips’ office about Pincher’s appointment.”
On Saturday night there were allegations – denied by Mr Pincher – that three Conservative MPs were subject to unwanted passes or groping by their colleague.

The interesting question now is whether he'll resign (triggering another by-election) or stay put as an independent MP until the next General Election.

Took long enough.
Alleged groper aka arse pincher, Chris Pincher, has lost the Tory whip.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...onservative-mp
A senior MP who allegedly groped two men at a private club and admitted to having drunkenly “embarrassed myself” has lost the Conservative whip.
Chris Pincher, who stood down as the deputy chief whip over the allegations on Thursday night, was initially allowed to continue sitting on the Tory benches.
The government U-turned in the face of pressure from colleagues and withdrew the whip, meaning that Pincher, the MP for Tamworth in Staffordshire, will sit as an independent.
A spokeswoman for the Conservative chief whip, Chris Heaton-Harris, said: “Having heard that a formal complaint has been made to the ICGS, the PM has agreed with the chief whip that the whip should be suspended from Chris Pincher while the investigation is ongoing.
“We will not pre-judge that investigation. We urge colleagues and the media to respect that process.”

Durham police do the needful so we can have someone who has a tiny bit of charisma but isn't a liar.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostI at first wondered what the fuss was about - it's a rare person who hasn't had too much to drink and been an idiot but to go around getting handsy with people unbidden is definitely not on.
What I'm concerned about is that there seems to be a sentiment that "he apologised and resigned so no further action needed". Now I suspect if he'd groped a woman, there would definitely be further enquiries and a huge outcry. I really hope I'm wrong as it totally sends the very wrong message that men cannot be victims of sexual assault.
I’m presuming that those who investigated found it perfectly normal behaviour to grope and assault a man…
