Explosive employment tribunal going on at the moment with the labour MP who resigned forcing the by election. Yesterday’s evidence:
“A shadow minister has stepped down from her post after being accused of trying to isolate a parliamentary worker who had made allegations of sexual harassment against a left-leaning Labour MP.
Kate Hollern, a shadow communities minister and former aide to Jeremy Corbyn, attempted to dissuade the Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen from offering support to the staff member known as Ms A, an employment tribunal was told on Wednesday.
Bridgen’s claims emerged at the tribunal in central London where Mike Hill, the former MP for Hartlepool, faces accusations from Ms A of sexual harassment and victimisation. Hill vehemently denies the allegations.
After being approached by the Guardian, Hollern, the MP for Blackburn, who was Corbyn’s parliamentary private secretary at the time of the conversation, apologised for speaking to Bridgen about Ms A, but said it was never her intention to undermine any support received by the complainant.”
Great bunch of lads |

No punishment at all from the Labour Party. This Kate Hollern has resigned, no loss of privileges, the MP has walked off with a pension. Seems very shabby. |

I'm fairly sure losing your job is a punishment but I stand to be corrected.
Do people often get their pensions took off them?

She's resigned a specific position but still has her job.
And MPs get incredibly generous pensions compared to their length of service. |
