Labour’s Ben Bradshaw has been having a smelly few days…
Parliamentary Authorities responded, saying:
“The engineers of the Parliamentary Estates Directorate have now identified the problem – a broken urinal waste pipe. There has been no damage to possessions/IT equipment and there will be a clean-up.”
But Bradshaw has been taking this in good spirits, using the hashtag #urinegate to discuss his plight on Twitter.
It’s glamorous being an MP, eh?
