The nonentity in the middle, I can't even remember his name, just makes me want to throw a brick at the screen every time he grins inanely when there is some particularly bad or tragic news item for which his bosses have wheeled him out because they think he is the one likely to lose fewer supporters

An unnamed Conservative MP has been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed a man was in custody over allegations dating back to between 2002 and 2009.

The Conservative Party said he had been asked by the chief whip not to attend Parliament while an investigation is ongoing.

The man also faces allegations of an abuse of position of trust and misconduct in a public office.

A Met Police spokesman would not confirm the identity of the man or if he was an MP, but published a statement, saying: "In January 2020, the Met received a report relating to alleged sexual offences having been committed between 2002 and 2009.

"The offences are alleged to have occurred in London."


He added: "A man... was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office."

The Conservative Whips office, which is responsible for party discipline, confirmed they had asked the MP to stay away from Parliament amid the investigation.

The office's spokesperson said: "The Chief Whip has asked that the MP concerned does not attend the Parliamentary Estate while an investigation is ongoing. Until the conclusion of the investigation we will not be commenting further."

The Met said the investigation was ongoing and being led by officers from the Central Specialist Crime unit.

We got 25 cents the tax portion per litre off when it hit $3.00
Mine is free from work but I think it's back up to about $3.00
Tax discount is meant to end soon

Bad times ahead! Infact bad times are already here! Expect poverty and crime to increase sharply but as long as the fat cats keep rolling the cash in then everybody is happy.

I don't understand. Why are we changing the law regards brexit. I thought it was done and dusted and we just got on with our lives. I certainly have.

Odd isn’t it, thought it was a fantastic deal… sure that was the rhetoric we were told, turns out that was bollocks, who’d have thunk it.

On the plus side our PM is a character with funny hair.
