To be honest I was sent the twitter link by a friend and then posted it here without doing due dillegence because I was so amused.
minus-squareᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-26 months agoYeah, that article suggests he owned up to it being cocaine: The outgoing MP for Somerton and Frome admitted taking cocaine after drinking “incredibly potent” Japanese whisky, but denies claims of harassment.
