Rejected petition PM and Parliament should condemn the comments made by Michael Gove.

Michael Gove compared being interviewed by presenter John Humphrys with going into Harvey Weinstein's bedroom.
He added: "You just hope you emerge with your dignity intact."

More details

We call upon Theresa May to suspend Michael Gove as he has breached the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament, Section V Pt 16, states that; “Members shall never undertake any action which would cause significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole or of its members generally.”

It is incumbent on MPs in the public domain to use their influence and considered judgement so that sexual assault is treated with the seriousness it deserves. To do anything else does their constituents and citizens of this Country a disservice.
