former minister and conservative mp margot james is still with us, as are eleanor langford, a politicaltics home, and katie ferguson, the deputy political editor at the sun. and, kate, you and sun colleague had that exclusive that an at—that—point unnamed mp had been accused of watching porn in the house of commons. how did you break that story, kate? i mean, it was a story that came... i think came to me on a tuesday night, that tory mps had been having a meeting in parliament and that meeting was there to discuss how you can keep and attract more women into politics. that quickly became a sort of #metoo meeting where lots of anger boiled over into allegations of sexual misconduct among their own colleagues, and in that quite highly charged meeting, someone did mention that they had seen a colleague on his phone watching pornography in the house of commons chamber. and someone told me that, so that's how we got that story. we broke it early the next day. did you realise quite how big a story it was going to be? because obviously there were all these other stories swirling at that point
