Lord Sewel Of Gilcomstoun

[Henry]

Got himself in a spot of bother I see.

 

 

A MARRIED peer in charge of upholding standards in the House of Lords has been caught on video snorting cocaine with a pair of £200-a-night hookers.

Baron John Sewel, 69 — Deputy Speaker of the Lords and once a key ally of ex-PM Tony Blair — stripped naked for one sleazy romp at his rent-protected London flat.

Last month he was also pictured snorting coke with hookers at a sordid sex party after asking: “What about trying the big one?”

The peer, in charge of upholding standards in the House of Lords, sniffed the Class A drug from one call girl’s breasts.

And he told the women — each paid £200 for the session at his rent-protected London flat: “I just want to be led astray.’’

Sewel stripped naked for last week’s party, held behind the back of his wife Lady Jennifer.

Last night his political career lay in tatters and he faced immense pressure to quit his important role.

Sewel, also said to have taken cocaine at another binge last month, is paid an £84,525 salary as Chairman of Committees in the Lords.

But the Lord, who has a £1.2million house in Aberdeen, cut a less respectable figure as he enjoyed a seedy romp at his flat in Dolphin Square — notorious for a string of Parliamentary scandals.

One of the escorts told him during the session, which was captured on video: “You’re such a party animal!” He replied: “I know. Disgusting, isn’t it?”

The peer, who at one point puts on one girl’s orange bra, is also asked: “How bad do you want to be tonight then?’’ He responds: “I just want to be led astray.’’

Sewel, who claimed £403,799 in expenses between 2001 and 2010, was caught on camera snorting three lines of cocaine in three quarters of an hour.

Hunched over a table the former Labour minister held a rolled-up £5 note in his left hand — his wedding ring on display — as he sniffed the white powder up his left nostril.

Lord Sewel quits after Sun revelations

Minutes later, after hoovering up a second line off the table, he lay naked on the bed before summoning one girl, pulling down her top and snorting more powder off her breasts.

In a frenzy of excitement he then wore a call girl’s bra and leather jacket and sucked on a cigarette as the women stroked his back and hair.

Sewel booked the hookers for wild benders at his discounted flat in Pimlico, central London.

Dolphin Square — a short walk from Westminster — is at the centre of a Scotland Yard probe into alleged child abuse by MPs. There is no suggestion Sewel is involved in that. He has never been an MP.

The peer answered the door to the hookers at about 10pm in just a towel, saying: “Bloody hell I’d given up. S***. Bloody hell you’re late.”

But he soon forgot his anger and landed a playful smack on one of the girls’ backsides as she walked inside, gloating: “Happy days are here again.”

In a nod to his betrayed wife Jennifer, who is University Secretary at Durham University, Sewel insisted on turning a framed photo of her face-down on a table when the sex games began.

Sewel said he was “taking it easy” at last Wednesday’s party due to a blood test the next day.

He said: “What shows up in blood tests? I can’t do substances because it can kill me.”

One of the girls said: “You were really naughty the other night. You really, really were.” He sheepishly responded: “I know.”

Holding open his “moderngov” diary, he then tells the girls about a recent work trip to the Isle of Man, which included lunch on a steam train.

Sewel proudly told the hookers he had read about the parliamentary visit on his iPad on the “front page of the BBC News”.

And he even invited them to have dinner with him at the House of Lords in the Peers Dining Room ahead of another arranged orgy on September 8.

The trio downed champagne, vodka and wine before Sewel said: “What about trying the big one?”

One of the girls replied: “What’s the big one?”

Sewel said: “Um, it comes in a can and it’s got, has it got Pepsi? No it’s not Pepsi, it’s another word rather than Pepsi cola. It’s Coca-Cola — forget the Cola.”

Sewel later pulled a blue wrap containing white powder out of the top of a soft drinks bottle.

He passed the wrap to one of the hookers to cut out lines — saying: “I’ll only have the smallest . . . ”

He then said: “Have you ever noticed before, when this has occurred previously, I have provided usually a ten pound note?

“It’s rolled up and so in the morning at least I’ve got enough to buy me some breakfast. The rolled-up note disappears, it goes.”

When the call girls complained he was accusing them of theft, he quips: “Yes!”

One prostitute called his line of cocaine “ridiculously big” and asked if he was drinking too much.

The peer — full name John Buttifant Sewel — then selfishly pointed to a fat line of powder and said: “I’ll do that.”

A hooker responded: “No, I was going to give you the small one.”

Sewel then snorted one of three lines of cocaine on the table.

Within minutes he stripped off and paraded around the studio flat.

He snorted a third line of coke from one hooker’s boobs and stroked and pawed both women, who are about 45 years his junior.

After the session, Sewel paid one of the girls £200 in cash and wrote the other a cheque for the same amount.

The call girls also took photographs of Sewel seemingly taking cocaine during an earlier binge they say they had with him on June 22.

One of the girls claims she met the peer in a strip club in London’s Soho in 2012.

As a member of the Lords, he is involved in legislating on sexual offences acts, prostitution and brothel-keeping laws.

As Deputy Speaker he would also be expected to demonstrate higher standards of moral behaviour than ordinary peers.

Sewel helped draw up a code of conduct which insists peers act with “selflessness, integrity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership”.

He has two children and two stepchildren and was made a minister by Mr Blair in 1997 — helping to push through historic devolution to create the Scottish parliament.

His name was even given to a law that means Parliament cannot pass legislation on Scotland without Scottish Parliament approval, known as the Sewel Convention.

Up to 70 MPs joined Sewel in flocking to Dolphin Square towards the end of the last decade — attracted by its closeness to Westminster and cheap rent.

He pays just £1,000 a month in “protected rent” on his “grace and favour” Pimlico property.

An identical studio flat in Dolphin Square costs £2,817 to rent — affording him a £1,817 discount.

Sewel was made a CBE in 1984, is a former Labour councillor in Aberdeen and was made a life peer by Mr Blair.

He is now a crossbencher.

Just six days before his wild binge was caught on film, he announced the House’s new powers to expel Lords if they breached the code of conduct.

Writing on the Huffington Post website in his capacity as Chairman of the Privileges and Conduct committee, he said: “The actions of a few damage our reputation. Scandals make good headlines.

Peer has broken his own rules and must go

“All Members now sign a declaration to obey the code and the seven principles of public life.

“The requirement that Members must always act on their personal honour has been reinforced.”

“No system of regulation can be perfect, but the House of Lords has come a long way since 2010 in improving its regulation of its Members and punishing the small number who misbehave.

“Today’s new sanctions strengthen the regime further.”

Last night Sewel declined to comment.

Bitches N Biff... can anyone really have a pop at him here?

 

Not at all, I think it's classic.

 

[Poodler]

He had some admirable things to say about Cameron and Boris. Seems like an all round good cunt. I see he was once on Aberdeen Council. How the fuck did we end up with such a limp dick as Willie Young after this party animal?

Indeed.

 

 

Lord Sewel is said to have described Mr Cameron as "the most facile, superficial prime minister there's ever been", and Mr Johnson as "a joke".

He is also said to have called Scottish MP Alex Salmond "pompous", and claimed the reason former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair took the decision to go to war in Iraq was "because he fell in love with George Bush".

[buchanskii]

At least we know he's not just a puppet for our Jewish overlords unlike Cameron et al.

[ChutneyLove]

Disgusting behaviour.

 

 

 

Using a fiver to snort anything is bang out of order.

[spamspamspam]

Good personal friend of mine

[AFCaketin]

It wouldn't have been Scottish five pound note that's for sure... would have been as well rolling up a square of Tesco value bog roll if it was.

[tup]

Bitches N Biff... can anyone really have a pop at him here?

 

Yes, that's what we do best in Britain. Knock folk off their pedestals.

 

Silly old bastard is fucked now, he's just another example of the level of sheer hypocrite operating in the upper echelons of British society. Do as we say etc.

 

Laws exist only as a means of subjugating the working class.

[tup]

I don't see what he is doing as particularly rock and roll, I see it as fairly seedy for a man of that age who no doubt has children of his own.

 

Disgraceful behaviour and he deserves to be outed for it.

[tup]

It might be if he was 40 years younger.

 

Old men taking drugs is distinctly non rock and roll.

 

Like the Crystal Methodist.

 

I suspect all these guys are being outed because mobile phone technology has been completely compromised by the authorities.

 

They can basically reveal whatever they want, whenever they want to.

 

Big Brother exists, now.

[Poodler]

It's only Rock n Roll but I like it

[dervish]

Engages with the electorate (not that it matters for peers). First time I've wanted to be a Lord. Peter the Great set a good standard in this sort of thing (also was schooled by Scots so makes sense).

[reekie_dock]

Boys a legend sniffing Biff at that age like...

 

School boy error allowing the hookers to snap him in the act.

[CrazyBullSheep]

Quite dissapointed there are no pics of him with his face buried in the hookers anus.

 

He seems like a solid bloke although his only error is, he probably should have killed the hookers after he was done with them, then none of this would have happened.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

It very obviously an engineered sting, the sun obviously paying the whores to take fly snaps of him (he must have used them before and - knowing who he was, given his boorish bragging - they approached the sun for money).

 

The sun defends it as "in the public interest" but is it really? Its not as if he was snorting coke and cavorting with hookers in the House of Lords itself.

 

I doubt the public really give two hoots what he gets up to - indeed most posters seem here impressed rather than appalled lol - especially when they consider how the public fawn over entertaining stories of the likes of Stephen Fry taking drugs in buckingham palace.

 

Surely in the days of our largely amoral society, if it were consistent, the outlook should be - does this behaviour affect his ability to do his job properly (?) and not a condemnatory "ooh this is outrageous" in a pearl-clutching sense?

 

Other than give the public something to snicker over, all I can see that the sun has achieved is the humiliation of his wife - how is that in the public interest?
