British Minister at the centre of what is being called the #DildoGate investigation

The UK's Cabinet Office will probe deep into the allegations.

We’ve heard of a Party Whip but this is ridiculous.

Mark Garnier, the international trade minister for the UK, is to be investigated over a possible breach of ministerial rules after it was revealed that he had requested a now-former aide to purchase sex toys for him.

The ex-secretary also claims that the minister referred to her as “sugar tits”.

The UK’s Cabinet Office will probe deep into the allegations made against the minister, and he himself admitted to the Mail On Sunday that he did not contest the claims that had been made against him, but still strongly denied any sexual harassment.

Prime Minister Theresa May is set to address the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow in an effort to stop the sexual harassment from continuing in Westminster and all other parts of Government.

Of course, Twitter being Twitter, it didn’t take long for the entire scandal to be given a very catchy hashtag:
