A Liberal Democrat MP has been accused of an 'abuse of power' after sexting a Ukrainian translator during an official visit to the war-torn country.
Last night the party faced calls to strip the whip from Cameron Thomas over the 'inappropriate' advances.
The Tewkesbury MP sent intimate WhatsApp messages to the woman who had been tasked with working with the delegation of MPs in February while they were on a parliamentary visit to Ukraine.
The visit marked the third anniversary of Russia's invasion and involved travelling to the capital Kyiv and the city of Lviv, as well as attending a conference.
The WhatsApp messages – seen by this newspaper – include Mr Thomas, 42, telling the interpreter 'I want you' and 'I wish I could stay with you for a few days'.
