Damian Green urged to step down while porn allegations are investigated

Tory MP says source of allegations that porn was found on his Commons computer in 2008 is ‘tainted and untrustworthy’

Two Conservative MPs have called for Damian Green to step down as Theresa May’s deputy while claims of inappropriate behaviour against him are investigated by the party.

The suggestion came as the home secretary, Amber Rudd, confirmed that a wider Cabinet Office inquiry into the conduct of Green, the first secretary of state, would look into allegations that pornography was found on his Commons computer.

Green – who vehemently denies any wrongdoing – has become the focus of a wave of allegations of abuse and harassment in Westminster.

Rudd said on Sunday she believed it was time for wrongdoers to be drummed out of parliament. “I think it is something that will take place in terms of clearing out Westminster of that sort of behaviour, and I think Westminster afterwards – including the government – will be better for it,” she told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show.

Catalonia ex-officials surrender to Belgian police

Catalonia's deposed leader Carles Puigdemont and four former advisers have turned themselves in to Belgian police, says a prosecutors' spokesman.

He said an investigating judge would decide by Monday morning whether to execute an EU arrest warrant issued by a Spanish judge on Friday. (BBC News website)

The most important thing to look for is a cultural shift in which abusive behaviour is no longer tolerated and hushed up, but faced and dealt with. Mrs May could be the right woman at the right time in the right office to lead that.

Finally read that Peter Hitchens article and it is – I think this is the correct technical term – an utterly unbelievable load of old toss.

Where can I find the article, please? If it's a paywall job is it possible for you to give me a flavour? Thanks.

Edited to add - not that much of what he says isn't sensible, in any case.

Also in the Times. Is this genuine or another of those hastily backtracked things? Still wondering if May's hoping to keep us in the EU or single market because "Labour made her do it" / "back stabbing EU autocrats wouldn't agree a proper deal".
