Just edited the title of the thread to say he was a politician, not a Westminster MP

These witchhunts are completely getting out of hand.

It's not right that people are being hauled over the coals before any charges are pressed.

Just a bit of a curveball here but I was thinking of how May could clear this up once and for all.

It's simple - if you have a grievance you have a finite amount of time in which to report it.

Once that time has elapsed, that's it. Tough.

There is no-one and no Department where a person CAN report it.

Fix that first, policies and procedures stating actions and timescales will come from the head of that department.

This.

MPs have been self-regulating for too long. There should be an unelected body that covers HR activities (for want of a better description) this would include proving new MPs with information on what to do, processing expenses, defining pay rises/cuts, and providing a neutral place for reporting issues and dealing with them. It's clear that MPs are incapable of acting in a noble manner, so this needs to happen.

Very sad news. If the woman who made the allegation turns out to have made the whole thing up, I hope she is charged with manslaughter.

She can't be.

And why do you presume those who alleged rape/sexual assault are liars?

Well, change the bloody law then it does clear it all up

MPs are too busy abusing each other to pass laws....

He didn't assume, he said if.

Nasty little reply from you there.
