    According to the West of England Combined Authority website, Norris previously worked as an NSPCC-trained child protection officer.

    Well that’s a worry.

      Norris, 65, was elected as the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham in 2024, defeating the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg.

      I wonder who will be lining up to try to win the seat after Norris is gone? Because he’s probably not going to be able to hold his seat, whether or not the charges stick.

      Edit: In another article they mention that he also has a master’s degree in social work. More and more I’m leaning towards this being a potential stitch up. However, we don’t know what information the police have, none of that is public.

        Multiple accusers over a period covering 20 years, and the police are confident enough in the case to have advanced to the arrest phase.

          I haven’t seen a thing about multiple accusers? The information I’ve read suggests it’s one accuser, with multiple events in the 2000’s and one recent accusation of rape in the 2020’s. In particular, the police statement said “The victim is being supported and given access to any specialist help or support she needs.”, which directly implies only one accuser.

          and the police are confident enough in the case to have advanced to the arrest phase.

          That doesn’t mean much of anything.
