Introduction

Deputy chief whip chris pincher has had to resign from his senior position after drunkenly groping two men. But the scandal has deepened following revelations that boris johnson was previously tipped off about pinch's behaviour and apparently ignored it. This story comes as no surprise to byline times political editor and chief westminster correspondent, adam benkof. We'll also hear from byline times editor hardep methar, who published articles detailing westminster sleezy culture well before the pincher story broke.
