A senior Tory in Cumbria is likely to face a grilling by party bosses after he joked on social media in graphic terms about performing a sex act.

Rob Currie, who is is Deputy Chairman of Carlisle Conservatives, posted a joke about playing football as a child in which he talked about ‘big tits’.

Currie is the Tory candidate for Carlisle City council in Yewdale, a marginal ward currently be held by Labour.

He was also campaign manager for John Stevenson, the Tory MP for Carlisle, in the 2015 election.

In a conversation with a friend on Facebook, Currie recalled playing football as a child and posted a lengthy double entendre that ended by saying ‘I certainly used to enjoy splattering the moisture from my heavy balls all over her big tits’.

His ‘joke’ is likely to backfire a week before local elections that are likely to see Labour make huge gains across the country after the government suffered one of its worst weeks this year in the wake of the Windrush scandal.
