Married Tory minister Andrew Griffiths has quit over perverted demands he made in 2,000 texts sent to two barmaids.
The new dad sent Imogen Treharne and her pal £700 and offered to rent a flat to meet for sex.
He demanded explicit photos and videos and described degrading sex acts in crude detail.

“I’m going to need something filthy to put a smile on my face. I want to see you both naked.”
“Take off the bra and panties… you’ve got Daddy in such a frenzy.”
“I’m going to bring you to London and do whatever I want to you.”
“I’m thinking maybe we need a flat for Daddy’s girls. I’m taken by you both. You girls are spectacular.”
What is it with Tories and pigs?
His resignation statement:
I am deeply ashamed at my behaviour which has caused untold distress to my wife and family, to whom I owe everything, and deep embarrassment to the Prime Minister and the Government I am so proud to serve.
I tendered my resignation as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Small Business on Friday night. Following discussions today (Saturday) with the Chief Whip I have referred myself to the Conservative Party’s Code of Conduct procedures. I entirely accept that pending this investigation it is right the Whip is withdrawn.
I wish to apologise to my constituency association and to the people of Burton I am honoured to represent.
I do not seek to excuse my behaviour and will be seeking professional help to ensure it never happens again.
In time I hope to earn the forgiveness of all those who put their trust in me and that I have let down so terribly.
The Prime Minister and the Government she leads will continue to have my full support.
