Damian Green resigns as first secretary of state after porn allegations

[muriel_volestrangler]

Conservative MP Damian Green has resigned as first secretary of state amid allegations that pornographic material was found on his Commons computer in 2008.

He has been investigated for alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a party activist, as well as claims that “extreme” pornography had been found on one of his Commons computers.

Green admitted that his lawyers discussed the pornography with police in 2008 and again in 2013. The Tory MP also apologised to the Times journalist Kate Maltby, who accused the former minister of harassment last month.

In his letter of resignation, Green wrote: “I accept that I should have been clear in my press statements that police lawyers talked to my lawyers in 2008 about the pornography on the computers, and that the police raised it with me in a subsequent phone call in 2013. I apologise that my statements were misleading on this point. The unfounded and deeply hurtful allegations that were being levelled at me were distressing both to me and my family and it is right that these are being investigated by the Metropolitan police’s professional standards department.”

Though I'm not sure how much difference it makes. I can't think what he's done since his appointment.
