    I was curious as to why theh didn’t mention his party, turns out he doesn’t have one, but is an ex-Conservative

    Elected as a Conservative, he had the whip withdrawn in May 2025, and now sits as an independent.

    Whenever I see that a public figure is accused of something like this as they became a public figure I tend to assume it is drummed up noise. Who hasn’t accidentally touched people while in clubs. Now - if there is video or photos like we saw of Urban Meyer in American. Then you are caught red handed. If this guy was casually trying to brush up against women, he would have other outlets and other accusers.

      Seems like there is.

      Jurors were shown a slowed-down version of CCTV footage of Spencer unsteady on his feet that night and of the moments he approached the women.

      Given that he “approached” them from behind and grabbed their boobs. Then he was kicked out of the club. So yeah, it’s not drummed up noise.

      Your take doesn’t really fit with the timeline described in the article. If the police hadn’t screwed up, it would have come out before he became MP (and presumably he wouldn’t have).
