Lawmakers, Lawbreakers

When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.

Labour Suspends MP Dan Norris After Arrest following allegations of rape and child sexual offences

The Labour Party has suspended MP Dan Norris following notification of his arrest, and has also withdrawn the party whip, effectively removing his status as a Labour representative in the House of Commons. A party spokesperson confirmed the suspension but declined to provide further comment due to the ongoing police investigation.

According to reports, the arrest is related to allegations of rape and child sexual offences, following a police search of Norris’s residence. Norris, who defeated Jacob Rees-Mogg in the last General Election, was taken into custody, and items were seized from the property. Most of the alleged offences are said to have occurred nearly two decades ago, with one recent accusation of rape also reported.
