Stephen Crabb, failed the Clinton test.

  I personally follow the "Bill  Clinton" rule where as someone pointed out.


"So long as the President does not tell us who we should sleep with, we should not care who he does".

Of course that does not include harassment and therefore it is important to report that while, former Welsh secretary Stephen Crabb has been cleared of breaching party rules following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct.He may well not be cleared by public opinion.


The Conservative Preseli Pembrokeshire MP is one of two MPs to be cleared of breaching party rules after allegations of inappropriate conduct. 

We maybe should call for the Tories to tighten its rules.

Mr Crabb and Chris Pincher MP were cleared by a panel, headed by an independent QC, of breaching the Conservatives’ code of conduct.

Mr Crabb was reported to have admitted sending explicit messages to a 19-year-old woman he interviewed for a job. 

The party found that while the former cabinet minister’s behaviour fell short of the party’s standards and was “inappropriate”, it “did not constitute harassment”.

 

Referring to Mr Crabb’s case, a Conservative Party spokesman said: 

“Following an investigation, a panel headed by an independent QC has concluded that Mr Crabb’s behaviour did not constitute harassment.
“However, it found that his behaviour in this matter was inappropriate and fell short of the standards the party expects.
“The party chairman has reminded Mr Crabb of the need to adhere to the spirit and letter of the code of conduct at all times. He accepted this unreservedly and has made a full apology.”

It is important for us to note that


Crabb is a Christian who believes in the practical value of prayer and who feels the church should play an active role in community life.]
He has past links to Christian Action Research and Education (CARE), an advocacy group that is opposed to LGBT rights[during the 1990s Crabb was a parliamentary intern backed by the organisation, and he is one of around twenty MPs to have employed interns funded by CARE. When quizzed about his views during his party leadership bid in July 2016, Crabb said: 

"I don't believe that being gay is a sin. I don't believe it's something to be cured. I've never said anything like that." and claimed accusations to the contrary were "a complete falsehood spread by political opponents".
 
  Stephen Crabb is also  member of the of the right wing Cornerstone Group 

 s name derives from the Cornerstone Group's support for three British social institutions: the Church of England, the unitary British state, and the family. To this end, it emphasises England's Anglican heritage (although some are looking to Roman Catholicism in view of increasing liberalism within the CofE), opposes any transfer of power away from the central government and institutions of the United Kingdom — either downwards to the nations and regions or upwards to the European Union — and seeks to place greater emphasis on traditional family structures to repair what has been termed as Britain's broken society, as well as calling for tighter levels of immigration into the UK.
Its core focus points include the Monarchy; traditional marriage; family and community duties; proper pride in the United Kingdom's distinctive qualities; quality of life over soulless utility; social responsibility over personal selfishness; social justice as civic duty, not state dependency; compassion for those in need; reducing government waste; lower taxation and deregulation; Promotion and protection of ancient liberties against politically correct censorship and a commitment to the democratically elected UK parliament.
 once referred to as the Taliban Tendency by Conservative MP Alan Duncan and which new Parliamentary Under-Secretary  Preseli MP Stephen Crabb is also affiliated.

 Small wonder fellow Tory MP Alan Duncan once referred to this wing as a "Taliban tendency"

Stephen Crabb has failed the Bill Clinton rule and , I think we  have any right to call him out it is is the second time he as been accused for a second time of sending sexually explicit message to a young woman. 

Mr Crabb may well hope to put these two events, behind him.

I for one will let him so long as we don't hear any hypocrisy over 2Familly Values" from him or any of his other members of the Tory Taliban Tendency,
The Work and Pensions Secretary, a married father of two, sent sexually charged messages to an unidentified young woman in the days leading up to the EU referendum. Mr Crabb, 43, is believed to have been exposed by the unidentified woman after she became infuriated by his supposed hypocrisy in campaigning to be party leader on a platform of being a devout Christian and family man who opposed same-sex marriage.
