“My Westminster office was empty as my entire staff were with me in the constituency office that day. “I have discovered that members of staff working for John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn have gained unauthorised entry into my office in parliament,” Malhotra said in a statement to the Observer. Malhotra writes: “Suspicion was aroused when [John McDonnell’s aide] accessed my office with her key on 13 July at 18.42 and was surprised to find my member of staff still in the office. Malhotra further accuses Murphy of leaving her staff scared to be alone in the office. This is a breach of parliamentary privilege and is a violation of the privacy, security and confidentiality of a member of parliament’s office.
