News emerged last night that a well-known Tory MP has been compromised after being caught in bed with a notorious local male prostitute. The incident took place in the MP’s luxury suite at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, where most of the Conservative delegates are staying during conference.

It is believed that the MP is the victim of a “honey trap” masterminded by the homosexual-rights group Stonewall as part of their campaign to “out” prominent people in public life. The MP has been named unofficially as Michael Gove, member for Surrey Heath and Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. Mr Gove is already embroiled in the recent expenses scandal, having “flipped” at least one “home” in order to avoid capital gains tax, and was the author of a grovelling apology made to his constituents when the scandal first came to light.

Although Michael is married to Sarah Vine, a writer at The Times, and they have two children, an informed source tells us that this is just the usual front used by well-known personalities (and wives who don’t like sex) in order to keep their true predilictions secret.

When confronted and asked to comment, David Cameron, the Tory leader, said:

“So what? Most of our MPs are either homosexual, Lib-Dem or simply pathological liars”.

Late last night, a spokesman for Stonewall confirmed that Michael Gove is the man they entrapped and promised to publish photographic evidence on their website which shows the MP being fellated by the 19 year old rent boy.

Mr Gove was unavailable for comment, but his private secretary said:

“I’m not surprised. I thought he was just a bit soppy, but I can well believe that he’s the other way – most MPs are: that’s why they’re always banging on about lowering the age of consent for shirt-lifters. But don’t quote me on that, whatever you do”.
