Councillor accuses Conservatives of 'wall of silence' over Chris Pincher

A councillor who claims he was groped by the Conservative MP Chris Pincher has said he was motivated to speak out because of a "wall of silence" imposed by the party.

Daniel Cook, the deputy mayor of Tamworth said Mr Pincher, who has been suspended by the Tory party, groped him in 2005 and 2006.

But he said he found the party had issued instructions not to talk about Mr Pincher.
