It was an accusation of sexual assault that brought down Boris Johnson's government. When Tory whip Chris Pincher was accused of groping two men in a private members club, the scandal was not so much the act itself but the cover up.
On the first episode of this three-part series, Liz Bates, Sky’s political correspondent, speaks to Emily (not her real name) who describes the night she says she was sexually assaulted by an MP, who, at time of recording, was a serving cabinet minister. Plus, we hear other stories of sexual misconduct at the very top of government and ask why victims still feel they have no-one to turn to.
