MP Neil Parish searched for ‘Dominator combine harvester’ before stumbling across porno filth in Commons, pals say
THE MP caught watching porn in the Commons was looking for Dominator combine harvesters, pals said last night.
Tory Neil Parish claimed to have searched for tractors before stumbling across filth.
Devon councillor Colin Slade said he “could see” how the MP might have mixed up a Dominator with a dominatrix.
Farmer Parish, 65, quit after saying he was looking for “tractors” and got “into another website with sort of a very similar name”.
A Claas Dominator 76 combine harvester was spotted yesterday on Parish’s farm in Bridgwater, north Somerset.
Sceptics will point out that it is not a tractor — but Mr Slade insisted: “I believe it to be true.”

Another councillor pal Ray Radford told The Sun: “If he was googling combine harvesters and tractors and so on he might have stumbled across something by mistake, whether he pressed the wrong button or not, who knows?”
He added: “I’ve got no doubt it was a bit unfortunate.”
Parish said he stumbled on the X-rated video — but later watched it again at the side of the chamber waiting to vote.
The Business Secretary said Parish did “the right thing” resigning his seat in Tiverton and Honiton — forcing a by-election for the Government.

But Kwasi Kwarteng rejected claims Parliament is dominated by sleaze, and instead blamed a “few bad apples”.
It comes after a Sunday Times report detailed alleged drunken behaviour, including a senior MP repeatedly licking researchers’ faces in bars.
A minister was also allegedly overheard frequently having “noisy sex” in his office, while a female Tory was reportedly sent a “d**k pic” by a colleague.
Mr Kwarteng accepted the allegations were “extraordinary and unacceptable”.
But he told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday shutting down Commons bars would be “excessively puritanical”.
He added: “I don’t think there is a culture of misogyny. The problem we have is people are working in a really intense environment. There are long hours and I think generally most people know their limits.”

He also told the BBC’s Sunday Morning show that Parliament is a safe place for women to work.
He said: “We’ve got to distinguish between some bad apples, people who behave badly, and the general environment.”
