I think they are probably disproportionately represented within the ranks of the fairly notoriously reactionary Tory MPs, though.

No, you can't suspend an MP, remove them from the party machinery, without revealing their identity to people who would previously have been unaware. If their identity needs to be kept from the public to avoid identifying the victim, then you don't suspend them unless and until they are charged or their identity is otherwise made public.

If you are arrested for an offence such as this there is no reason why your employment should be affected unless it involves children/vulnerable groups, no? Once charged it becomes something else, that is the point at which he will be named (unless naming him makes it obvious who his victim is) and an employer would be free to suspend if not fire him.

Suspension from a political party does not prevent an MP from fulfilling their role, assuming they're not in custody. It does, though, act as some form of institutional damage limitation/'fire-wall' for the party.

I can see that argument if Parliament were sitting.

No, but it sails along the same line as employment and if it turns out to be utter bollocks then it would be good to follow the protocol of companies than employ people.

Most people arrested on a Saturday for rape, questioned for x number of hours and bailed, they probably would go to work on Monday and not mention it. The shit would hit the fan later when charged.

Correct he is alive and kicking. Some 'wag' has put up a fake Facebook account and then set it to private and then shared it on Twatter.Fake news. Reading that Twitter link takes about ten seconds to debunk it

I've spent a little time looking through his FB account and I now feel very dirty and not in a good way.
As ever the sleuths of Reddit are on the case.

Hardly surprising, coming from urban's number one thick as shit, misogynistic, racist, and convicted rapist hero worshipper, poster.

Someone should tip him off he's tweeting fake news or it could bring into question all his other news/views.

Or you could. I didn't post the link!

Although these things are always fluid and social media moves quickly, and things can certainly be debunked...I looked myself for his twitter account and couldn't find it. You said that you were on twitter and had confirmed it was not true. But you didn't link to his account as the simplest of proof. I'm certainly willing to accept I can fuck up a search like that.
I don't really use facebook.
Well, we know Elphicke is guilty, just have to see about his sentencing: Ex-MP Charlie Elphicke convicted of sexual assault

Once many moons ago I had an opportunity to go with a friend who was friendly with a female researcher of a south coast Tory MP in the strangers' bar. The young women were all classically 'English Rose beautiful' and the young men Adonii whilst the few MP's that came into the bar (all-male that night) and went mostly looked like some dystopian extras from a zombie movie - coupled with faces flushed with the red hue of a claret well served with a peacocking strut.

MPs are not employed by the parties they represent, though.

isn't it an occupational requirement of being a tory MP?

From the Reddit link above.
That's the real scandal for me
Rees Mogg also knew about it. Another MP raised the issue with him and Spencer, according to The Times.
It's also a criminal offense not to report this to the police - when will he be arrested?

I'm pretty sure it's not a criminal offence not to report a crime to the police.

I'm pretty sure you're right. But, for a political party which just loves to wave the law'n'order stick around, it's a pretty poor show when the behaviour implies that it's only other people's misbehaviour you're concerned about, and not those in your own group.
