What strikes me about the latest sexual harassment stories at Westminster is that Conservative MPs seem to speak up about alleged bad behaviour by fellow MPs.
'I don't understand why it took the prime minister so long to suspend him.'@SadiqKhan says Chris Pincher should resign as an MP over an allegation that he drunkenly groped two men.

Whereas SNP MPs seem to clam up and and 'wheeshtforindy' - apart from one courageous SNP member, of course, who leaked the recording of nationalist MPs rallying round a perpetrator while showing no concern for the victim.
Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross on Chris Pincher: “He should no longer be in the party – just as Patrick Grady should have been sacked by the SNP. Sexual harassment must have no place in any political party.”

So what does this say about the culture inside the SNP that the leaker had to act anonymously, presumably because of the risk of reprisals and punishment from the SNP party hierarchy?
