Investigation initiated following discovery of plan to play explicit sounds on phone during PMQs, intended to disturb Sir Keir Starmer
In a surprising turn of events, an investigation has been initiated following a plot to cause disruption in the House of Commons. On Wednesday morning, a mobile phone was found during a routine search of the chamber by Metropolitan Police officers at 10.25hrs.
The mobile phone, hidden under the Commons table with double-sided sticky tape, was believed to have been purposely placed in a location with the aim of causing disruption to business in the House. The device was set to play a sexually explicit recording if rung, intended to go off during a confrontation between Sir Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch during Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs).
However, the incident did not disrupt the scheduled PMQs, as parliamentary security guards found the device before it could go off, as it had lost its grip and was lying exposed on the floor. The phone rang twice during PMQs with a "sex noise" ringtone, but it had already been removed from the chamber.
This is not the first time there have been breaches of parliamentary security in recent years. In 2019, a group of semi-naked men and women glued themselves to the glass of the public gallery in the Commons to protest about climate change, and a dozen people were subsequently arrested.
The Metropolitan Police have updated the Speaker and Clerk of the House about the incident, and an investigation is ongoing. No information is provided about any potential consequences for the individual or individuals behind the plot, or any details about the person behind the suspected prank.
It's worth noting that hundreds of parliamentary security staff were on strike over pay and conditions on Wednesday morning, which resulted in visitors being banned from the parliamentary estate. The parliamentary spokesperson could not comment on specific security measures due to safety and security concerns.
The search results do not provide information about the incident with the mobile phone in the Kommunal-Kammer, nor do they disclose any further details about the individual or individuals behind the plot. The public will have to wait for the results of the investigation to learn more about this unexpected incident.
