It was sweet, awkward, passionate, private, all at once. Finally, after looking into each other’s eyes for a while, with my heart racing and finding it hard to remain calm, I leaned over to him. We played around, wrestled, and laughed a lot. We found a private spot to leave our stuff then went into the river.
This was something which we'd often do with friends so we both knew it wouldn't raise any suspicions with our families. The exciting tension between us kept growing until it became unbearable! So one day, we decided to hang out by the river. The more we chatted, the more we found we had in common. The next time he came to deliver a package to our house, he handed me, with a smirk, a small note with his phone number written on it! Next thing I know, he started to ask people about me. Our eyes met, and a spark just ignited itself. The scandal comes at a precarious moment for Johnson, who will face pressure to resign if the Conservatives do poorly in the local elections.But one day, this delivery boy about my age came with a package for my mother.

Long known for its boozy, macho culture, Parliament is now a more diverse place, with women holding almost 40% of the seats in the House of Commons. Reports that a lawmaker had watched porn amid the historic green benches of the House of Commons triggered a flood of complaints from women in Parliament about the misogyny and sexual harassment they have faced while doing their jobs. “My biggest crime is that on another occasion I went in a second time,’’ he told the BBC. Neil Parish, 65, stepped down after what he described as a moment of “madness.’’ Parish, chairman of the house’s Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, said he was trying to look at a tractor website, but stumbled into a porn site with a similar name and watched it for “a bit.’’ The ballot is seen as pivotal for Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is already facing a voter backlash over lockdown-breaking parties in government offices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Neil Parish, a member of Parliament since 2010, announced his decision Saturday after pressure from members of his own party who sought to defuse sleaze allegations before Britain holds its local elections on May 5.
