A TORY MP has been accused of making a pass at a former Olympic rower while wearing a bathrobe - like a "pound shop Harvey Weinstein".

Athlete and Tory activist Alex Story, who was 26 at the time, says Tory whip Chris Pincher attempted to untuck his shirt, massaged his neck and whispered: "You’ll go far in the Conservative Party".

Tory whip Chris Pincher allegedly a pass at a former Olympic rower

Mr Pincher, MP for Tamworth, has denied the claims, which are the latest in a series of sexual misconduct accusations that have rocked Westminster.

The alleged incident took place at Mr Pincher's London home following a drink at the pub when they met canvassing at the Conservative HQ in Westminster in 2001.

Mr Story, writing in the Mail on Sunday, said Pincher said he wanted to change into something more comfortable and "returned in a bathrobe like a pound shop Harvey Weinstein, with his chest and belly sticking out".

He added:"It was as if I had been transported into a Carry On movie scene, with him reading lines from a rather sordid script."

He says he made his excuses and left.

Mr Pincher said: "I do not recognise either the events or the interpretation placed on them by The Mail on Sunday.

"Whatever may or may not have happened or been said was obviously many years before I became an MP.

"If Mr Story has ever felt offended by anything I said then I can only apologise to him."

A source told the paper that Mr Pincher is also said to have "made a pass" at former Middlesbrough Labour MP Tom Blenkinsop.

They said: "Tom told me Pincher touched his leg, and he told him to f*** off."

Mr Pincher did not respond to that allegation in his statement to the Mail.

Mr Blenkinsop, 37, declined to comment.

Mr Pincher appeared in a so-called “dodgy dossier” of alleged Tory sex pests.

His entry said: "Inappropriate with male researchers and heavy drinker + apparently touched (or more) Tom Blenkinsop."

Theresa May has introduced a new code of conduct for Conservative politicians in response to the Westminster sexual harassment scandal.

In a letter to John Bercow, the Commons speaker, she said that the government believed that there should be a "common, transparent, independent grievance procedure for all those working in parliament".
