Laura Kuenssberg suggests a minister sprawled on his hotel bed may have wanted a threesome with her and his partner

Laura Kuenssberg recounts the encounter in her forthcoming memoir 'Pay Attention', due for publication next week, describing how she arrived at the minister's hotel room expecting a professional meeting, only to find him sprawled on his bed with his shirt hanging open — his partner also present. She drank up and left quickly, refusing to name the man.

Kuenssberg said she 'got it completely wrong' but found the encounter 'very uncomfortable'.

The book also describes a former minister who kissed her on the head repeatedly, which she called 'just weird'.

She warns young people starting out in Westminster are 'sometimes very vulnerable' to poor behaviour by politicians.
