Tory MP Neil Parish stands on the object of his desire, a combine harvester friends claim he was googling when he looked at porn in the Commons.
The Dominator is one of Europe’s most popular combis and was first manufactured by German firm CLAAS in the 1970s.
A councillor has shared a theory that Mr Parish, a farmer, was looking for one when he ended up on a website with “a very similar name”.
Colin Slade said he had heard the former MP for Tiverton and Honiton was looking for “a brand of tractor named Dominator”, adding: “You can easily see where that would go.”
Described as an “icon among combine harvesters”, it featured in an episode of Top Gear with a snow plough and flamethrower.
Mr Parish resigned after admitting watching pornography on his phone twice.
Giving his version of what happened, Mr Parish said: “Funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at, so I did get into another website with sort of a very similar name and I watched it for a bit, which I shouldn’t have done.
“My most biggest crime, is that on another occasion I went in a second time, and that was deliberate.
That was sitting waiting on the side of the chamber.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also a farm machinery fan, and was at the unveiling of a new JCB in London last year.
Victoria Borwick, 66, said yesterday that in 2015 when she was a a Tory MP, one of her married colleagues put his hand up her skirt.
