‘I want to assure you that you will continue to have my full support from the back bench, and I wish you all the best as you deal with the shocks of COVID-19 and the challenges of international inflation.

The newspaper reports that Mr Pincher was drinking at the Carlton Club – the private members’ club of a Tory party in Piccadilly – when he is said to have assaulted two fellow guests.

It is the second time Mr Pincher has been forced to leave the whip office after accusing former Olympic rower and Conservative activist Alex Storey, then 26, of making a pass.

He is accused of trying to take off Mr. Story’s shirt and persuade him to return to his home in London, as well as massaging his neck, saying: ‘You will go too far in the Conservative Party.’

Mr Storey claims that at one point Mr Pincher left the room saying ‘just let me get into something more comfortable’, before returning to the bathrobe ‘like a Harvey Weinstein pound shop.’

He was acquitted of wrongdoing by a Conservative Party investigation.
