IN FULL:

Labour MP and West of England Mayor Dan Norris has been suspended from the Labour Party following his arrest “on suspicion of sexual offenses against a girl (under the Sexual Offences Act 1956), rape (under the Sexual Offences Act 2003), child abduction, and misconduct in a public office,” per Avon and Somerset Police. The police force says most of the alleged offenses took place in the 2000s, but the rape allegations date from the 2020s.

Norris, a 65-year-old former teacher and Child Protection Officer, served as a government minister and party whip under ex-prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. He has been released on conditional bail after being taken into custody on Friday. The investigation into him is being conducted by officers from Operation Bluestone, who handle serious sexual assault cases.

A Labour spokesman stated that Norris was suspended immediately after his arrest was reported and declined to comment further. Additionally, Norris has stepped down from his position as chairman of the League Against Cruel Sports.

Norris was re-elected last year to represent the North East Somerset and Hanham constituency (electoral district) in the House of Commons, having previously served from 1997 to 2010 as the MP for Wansdyke. He became West of England Mayor in 2021 but was scheduled to step down ahead of the upcoming local elections in May.

Norris is a strong critic of President Donald J. Trump, comparing him to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in unfavorable terms.

“He broke the law. He diminished Britain’s influence and credibility. He lied. Even as he exits, he continues to show no contrition,” the alleged pedophile said of Johnson in 2023, adding: “The similarities with Trump are stark.”
