Has limited details of allegations plus the police request not to speculate.

Added note - he wasn't going to stand again for Mayor in the May elections.

No but he’s been taking two salaries since last June!!

Well they didn't vet him very well, did they!!

Oh dear. Nasty if true.

Mr Norris, who trained with the NSPCC and worked as a teacher and child protection officer, has been suspended from the party pending the investigation.

Also alleged misconduct in public office whatever that means.

The way I read it these are new allegations? My guess is that somebody guilty of such crimes is hardly going to disclose them until found out, it’s not like having an internet history which reveals what you think when searched.

I’m glad he was immediately suspended.

Dreadful news. Absolutely awful

I'm surprised and shocked.

It is always devastating to know how prolific this type of offence is.

Not really, hiding in plain sight.

Yes. Wondering what the misconduct was. Very vague.

Yes - it’s shocking how often ‘respectable’ men are found to be involved in sexual abuse

The NCPCC
Child Protection Officer
A teacher

Frightening c.v. if allegations are true.
Perfect access to children.

Such a shame he won his seat by beating Jacob Rees Mogg by 5,000 votes. JRM is a perfect gentleman. Courteous and honourable. One of the few Tories I really do like.

Absolutely dreadful.

I really don't think his political party comes into it, FGT.

Abhorrent wherever you find it - dont try to make "political capital" out of it.

There was quite a lot of political capital made about the reform MP as far as I could see.
In terms of this kind of behaviour, it is across all political parties.

I didn’t contribute to that thread, but I thought it was about a failure in vetting processes which had they been carried out properly would have revealed before he was allowed to stand that that he supported Jimmy Savile, because he had posted that online? Unfortunately I don’t think a vetting process would catch people who were guilty of offences against children, or of sexual offences, that hadn’t been found out, therein is the rub. These crimes are not aligned to political allegiance, I agree.

Paedophiles will seek to enter professions that give them ready access to children

What Dan Norris has been charged with, is infinitely more serious than some Reform plonker saying Jimmy Savile is innocent and it is all lies.

We will have Jacob Rees-Mogg back in Parliament within the year representing his previous constintuency.

I’m not.
My allegiance actually lies with Labour now Wyllow.

I was just pointing out what a nice man I think JRM is.
No political bias intended. Just background really.

Not only seeking out specific professions, he has also placed himself in every campaign in relation to children safeguarding.

He’s my MP as well 25Avalon

I’m shocked by this news

I cant understand how they can lead that sort of a double life in their head for so long.
