In Open Democracy today:
A Conservative MP on police bail after being accused of rape has been given the go-ahead by his local party to stand in the next general election, openDemocracy can reveal.
The MP, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in May 2022 on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape and other related charges. He has been bailed three times since his arrest.
Yet openDemocracy has seen evidence that the politician has continued working in his local community, including with children.
He has also continued receiving personal donations and gifts since his arrest, including having a “private holiday” funded by a donor linked to an All-Party Parliamentary Group on which he sits.

The BBC and the MSM are not covering this story and, indeed, last report the arrest in May 2022.
In June 2022, BBC Scotland had:
SNP ‘hypocritical’ over sexual misconduct handling
Glasgow North MP Patrick Grady apologised after he was found to have made a sexual advance towards a colleague at a social event in 2016.

They were still on the case in December 2022:
Mr Grady, who represents Glasgow North, had been sitting as an independent MP since a complaint was made against him, which led to his Commons suspension in June.
The Scottish Conservatives said the SNP should have “sacked Patrick Grady for good”, saying he had “got away with little more than a slap on the wrist”.

A Tory MP, alleged rapist and serial sex-offender protected by his party and shielded by the media compared with an SNP MP who made a ‘sexual advance’ punished by his party but still hounded by the media.
Talking-up Scotland 
WE NEED ALL INDY SUPPORTERS TO DEMONSTRATE OUTSIDE POLICE AND POLITICAL OFFICE OF THIS PERSON
STATING ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS MUST BE SATISFIED
BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE AS TO WHO REPRESENTS CITIZENS

If this happened in Scotland the Tories would be screaming for another vote and calling it fraud on part of the SNP.

Not just double standards from the UK/Scottish media when reporting the SNP over mostly trivia or made-up stories but this is a dereliction of duty to report serious and important stories which SHOULD be in the public domain .
Imagine if this anonymous person had been an SNP MP/MSP ?
Dawn raids , forensic tents by the score , reporters on a 24 hour watch on every SNP Government Office , Jacqui Baillie demanding that the FM give hourly updates , ….

So we can’t know who they are because it’s still a live legal investigation? How scary the guy is still walking the streets if he really is guilty of such appalling crimes, nevermind working closely with people, including children. Very concerning indeed, he should be suspended until investigation is complete. Some folks really are beyond the law it seems, wow.
