If true, lock him up……disgusting. MP Dan Norris has been arrested on suspicion of rape, child sex offences, child abduction and misconduct in a public office. The Labour Party says it "immediately suspended" the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham after being made aware of his arrest. Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that a man in his 60s was arrested on Friday and released on conditional bail. BBC News has contacted Norris for comment. Norris, 65, was elected as the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham in 2024, defeating the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg. He had previously been in Parliament from 1997 to 2010 representing the seat of Wansdyke. The MP was a junior minister under Gordon Brown and was an assistant whip under Tony Blair. Norris has also served as the Mayor of the West of England since 2021 but is due to step down ahead of May's local elections. According to the West of England Combined Authority website, Norris previously worked as an NSPCC-trained child protection officer. In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police said: "In December 2024, we received a referral from another police force relating to alleged non-recent child sex offences having been committed against a girl. "Most of the offences are alleged to have occurred in the 2000s but we're also investigating an alleged offence of rape from the 2020s. "An investigation, led by officers within Operation Bluestone, our dedicated rape and serious sexual assault investigation team, remains ongoing and at an early stage. "The victim is being supported and given access to any specialist help or support she needs. "A man, aged in his 60s, was arrested on Friday (April 4) on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl (under the Sexual Offences Act 1956), rape (under the Sexual Offences Act 2003), child abduction and misconduct in a public office. "He's been released on conditional bail for enquiries to continue." A Labour Party spokesperson said on Saturday: "Dan Norris MP was immediately suspended by the Labour Party upon being informed of his arrest. "We cannot comment further while the police investigation is ongoing." The suspension means Mr Norris, the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, is also understood to have had the party whip suspended, meaning he is not able to sit as a Labour MP in the Commons.
Just wondered if , whether with his employment history , this was another David Jones moment ? Saints fans should know better to condemn Norris before he has had a trial.
I think you misunderstand. This is what a large proportion actually want. This is what they voted for. The current broken economy of the last 20 years is what they actively voted against. Cheapening the dollar and importing slave labour goods has helped the 1% get richer. The average person in the US has gotten way poorer. People’s salaries don’t keep up with inflation; it’s only CEOs and Wall Street and boomers with large pensions who really benefited. The stock market has not been a good barometer of the economy since 2008, even less so since Covid. Wealth inequality is absolutely huge. The trump vote is a Hail Mary to put working Americans first. I still think the global elite are completely missing this.
In this case it was as the labour council appears to be heavily involved directly and with a huge cover up
You think it's the rich that are buying the cheap imported goods? Do you actually think about what you are saying before you start typing?
There was no other way to respond to that because it’s clear he completely doesn’t understand what I said
No, I understood what you said, but can't quite work out how giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest and plugging that funding gap by making the cheap imported good cost 20-50% more, removing medicaid and trying to end social security, helps the poor in any way. It seems to do the complete opposite. Explain how that works.
I guess you are referring to the Netflix programme Adolescence. Might not be a bad idea, when you look at what is actually happening with children and knives. An opinion piece below that outlines knife statistics. THE Netflix knife-murder drama Adolescence was the wake-up call that Britain needed – and Keir Starmer is right to push for it to be shown in schools. Children need to know where social media radicalisation can lead, and parents will have their eyes opened to what their children are seeing behind bedroom doors. Adolescence is a fictional account of a 13-year-old killer, but it reflects the disturbing real-life statistic that 10 knife or offensive weapons crimes by children are recorded daily. Eight in 10 teenage homicide victims are killed with knives. The government is right to make it harder to buy them online, and to hire 13,000 more police and support officers to patrol neighbourhoods. But police on the streets are only one avenue in the battle to keep our children safe. While Adolescence made clear its lead character’s uncontrolled rages may have led him to kill anyway, it showed it was social media that sparked that particular attack on that particular classmate at that particular time. Which is why any attempt to water down new online safety laws must be resisted.
