Labour has suspended Dan Norris – the MP who ousted Jacob Rees-Mogg in last year's General Election – after being informed of his arrest. It is claimed the 65-year-old North East Somerset and Hanham MP was arrested on suspicion of rape and child sex offences.

A Labour spokesperson said: “Dan Norris MP was immediately suspended by the Labour Party upon being informed of his arrest. We cannot comment further while the police investigation is ongoing.” Avon and Somerset Police said that a man in his sixties was arrested on Friday on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl, rape, child abduction and misconduct in a public office. The force stated: “In December 2024, we received a referral from another police force relating to alleged non-recent child sex offences having been committed against a girl. Most of the offences are alleged to have occurred in the 2000s, but we’re also investigating an alleged offence of rape from the 2020s.
