Bit of a shock to find Dan Norris my MP has been arrested and suspended from the Labour Party following allegations of rape and child sex offences. I thought it was dishonest to take two salaries, one as WECA Mayor and one as an MP. Constituents complained he didn’t reply to them when they wrote to him, but this is something else if true. He is an NSPCC Child Protection Officer as well.

Well, we can't stop thread drift but it was introduced on Page 1
where the allegations about Norris were repeated and his election rival Mogg was alluded to as the "perfect gentleman" clearly as a contrast - although they are still allegations.
so then a riff on Mogg started where GN's felt Mogg was not he was cracked up to be either....

Why have some GNetters hijacked my post to denigrate Jacob Rees Mogg? I was not writing about JRM but about Dan Norris MP and WECA Mayor. According to The Telegraph they have seen documents relating to his alleged bullying and harassment of staff whilst Mayor. It is claimed tax payers money was used to pay off staff complaining. If true it is very damning.
Apologies, I was just responding to rather persistent questioning by another poster.
The only connection is that Norris ousted Rees-Mogg as MP for NE Somerset. It has to be pointed out that there was a boundary change in 2024 too.

This seems a pretty balanced view of what constituents have to say about Mogg. www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/jacob-rees-moggs-new-cringe-9761654
Of course some things transcend politics and this is one of them.
Utterly sickening.

^Run it by me, what's good about Mogg again?^
By all accounts he was a good constituency MP.
Presumably it was the general swing towards Labour which meant he was ousted.
At the time Dan Norris said ""This is a victory for integrity"
Hollow laugh.
Norris has not been found guilty of the allegations, GN's.

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.
Spot on

I keeep hearing this about him being a good MP. Like Johnson was a clever man. Do we have anything to support this at all?
If by the word clever you mean intelligent then Boris Johnson is a clever man.Intelligent men sometimes do stupid things tho.
For evidence of JRM actually being well thought of by his constituency you would have to ask them, google may help in the quest if you have the time.

That’s gonna come back to haunt him Allira 😲

Run it by me, what's good about Mogg again? or Johnson or Farage or Trump?
The Dan Norris case sounds shocking.
Tho he may be a ‘dreaded Tory’ apparently he’s a very good MP to his constituency or so I have read.

What I find frightening is that these perverts walk amongst us often with a veneer of respectability.
Not all burglars wear stripy tops and carry bags of swag.
Mogg has cultivated a look and a personna for example. What lies beneath is not pleasant.And yet he speaks very highly of you.

" a nice man"
Like Trump?
This case sounds very distrubing.I don't think anyone could ever say trump is nice. Ever.
But you're not wrong, everyone has good qualities & even good people do bad things, but even people who commit crime are not all bad, no one ever is. Or there's no hope for people who have committed crime. And I think there's always hope.
but even people who commit crime are not all bad
Sorry, but I would have to disagree, Nana49

No idea what that means. I have never met the man.
Oh hang on, you're trying to say something about my moral compass?
I don't lie, I don't cash in on my family wealth,I regard people as equals....need I go on?

It is frightening how many of them there are and how many of them seem to rise to senior and public positions.
They look like us, if only they had two horns and a tail so we could easily identify them

Rees Mogg. Pro blood sports, "completely against" abortion even in cases of rape and incest (whilst personally profiting from companies that make abortion pills), votes against any initiative to support the poorest in society, voted against provision of school dinners during holiday time to help the poorest children during covid, blamed Grenfell victims, blamed Covid victims, horizontal in parliament and refers to the electorate as 'pot plants'.
Dan Norris innocent until proven guilty.
Rees Mogg has shown us who he is already.
