Tory MP Peter Bone hit and abused staff member, watchdog says

Independent panel finds Bone bullied and harassed staff member over a three-month period in late 2012

The Conservative MP Peter Bone repeatedly hit and verbally abused a member of his staff, often asked him for massages and on one occasion put his bare genitals in the other man’s face, according to a damning report by a Commons regulator.

Bone, one of the most prominent members of the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, was found by the independent expert panel to have bullied and harassed his staff member over a three-month period in late 2012.
