Neil Parish is a British MP. An MP is a member of the British government. Parish is the member of the Conservative Party. He resigns last week.
Two of Parish’s co-workers see him watch pornography on his phone. These colleagues are women. They sit close to Parish. They can’t believe what they see. They are angry.
An inquiry starts. Some MPs want Parish to resign. Parish doesn’t want to resign.
He says that he watches pornography by mistake. He wants to watch a website about tractors. Then he returns to watch pornography.
Parish says that he is sorry about the situation. His co-workers and other MPs are very angry. For this reason, Parish resigns as an MP.
Difficult words: resign (to leave a job or office), pornography (books, magazines or films which show people having sex), inquiry (when you ask for information).
