  • If a footballer for example is arrested for rape their name is released even before being found guilty in court. Why do they not do the same for MPs?

    My personal view is nobody should be named until found guilty in court. Seems there is a different set of rules for some though.

  • In the past, the speaker of the House of Commons would make it public when an MP had been arrested. This practice was ended in 2016 after MPs voted to give greater privacy to their colleagues when arrested.
