And journalists. Journalists have stuck around too.

From The Sun's latest story, the Step-dad seems to be doing the talking today. And he claims the police said nothing illegal happened. Which is hardly helpful to The Sun.

He added: “I told the BBC I had gone to the police in desperation but they couldn’t do anything as they said it wasn’t illegal. They knew all of this.”

The Sun says: "We have reported a story about two very concerned parents who made a complaint to the BBC about the behaviour of a presenter and the welfare of their child." "Their complaint was not acted upon by the BBC. We have seen evidence that supports their concerns. It’s now for the BBC to properly investigate."

That sounds pretty weak to me.

He'll likely have abstained, since there's a convention that you vote the same way in the division as you called in the House - https://guidetoprocedure.parliament.uk/articles/9RMwklWv/vote-follows-voice

Absolute barnstormer from Martin Docherty-Hughes (SNP)!

 

Thought it'd be useful to have a comment thread for this.
