Westminster: House of Commons culture still 'predatory', say staff

An exclusive investigation by Newsnight into predatory culture in the House of Commons has heard from six members of staff who told us that sexual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour is still prevalent, and that abuses of power by male MPs and senior staffers remain common, despite a new complaints process - which is itself, they say, too slow.

One of the six, Ellie Varley who works as a parliamentary aide to the tory MP Dehenna Davison described persisent predatory behaviour which she said, transcends party politics.
