A British lawmaker who had been suspended from Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party said on Saturday he had resigned after admitting he twice viewed pornography on his phone in the House of Commons "in a moment of madness."

The Conservatives suspended Neil Parish on Friday after he reported himself to parliament's standards commissioner.

Parish resigned on Saturday, having previously said he would continue as a member of parliament while an investigation was carried out.

"In the end, I could see that the furor and the damage I was causing my family and my constituency association— it just wasn't worth carrying on," a tearful Parish told the BBC in an interview on Saturday.

Parish, a farmer, said the first time he had viewed the explicit material, he had stumbled across it by accident when looking for tractors on a website with a similar name, and had then "watched it for a bit, which I shouldn't have done."

Asked what had been going through his mind, he described it as "a moment of madness."
