Three MPs accused of getting drunk on a flight to Gibraltar

Three MPs have been accused of “undermining respect for Parliament” after allegedly getting drunk on a flight to Gibraltar for a trip to commemorate Armistice Day.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the SNP’s Drew Hendry and David Linden, and one Labour MP, had put their military hosts “in a difficult position”.

The SNP called the claims “a Tory smear” and Labour has yet to comment.

The three were in a group of 15 MPs visiting troops in Gibraltar.

The trip was organised as part of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, which aims to give politicians an insight into military life so they can “make a more informed and useful contribution to defence debates”.

According to a witness who spoke with the BBC,  the three MPs in question had drunk in the airport lounge before departure and had then drunk heavily on the flight, being inebriated on touchdown.

The SNP MPs, who are still in Gibraltar, are reported to have become argumentative when officials queried their Covid documents.

And the Labour MP, who has returned to the UK, is alleged to have missed a welcome event put on by the military.

The SNP rejected the claims against Mr Hendry and Mr Linden, saying they had been “honoured to be invited” on the trip.

Mr Linden said he was “incredibly disappointed” by the “bizarre Tory smear campaign”.

The MP tweeted a picture of the group, in combat fatigues, saying: “Honoured to be visiting service personnel in Gibraltar as part of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme. Appreciating the opportunity to meet with and thank service personnel for everything they do.”

Mr Hendry accused Conservatives of making “false claims”, adding: “That is a matter for their conscience. I’ll focus on doing my job and respecting our troops as we mark Armistice Day.”
