Hancock is to face Police investigation... If so, no announcement has been made to the public. I would question whether you have become confused with the news this afternoon that Portsmouth City Council has decided that a complaint against him as a councillor should be investigated. Deciding to investigate a complaint only means that on the facts presented, there is a case to answer. Since the Localism Act, the Council has no power to suspend or disqualify any councillor found to have breached the code of conduct. |

Not that surprising. I always figured David was only hanging around waiting for Ed to lose in 2015 so he could take over. Now that Ed looks a dead cert to be the next PM, I guess David figures his political career's finished.

I'm assuming the charity International Rescue isn't that International Rescue?
Although to be fair, you can barely see the strings on him.

I understand that procedures are are matter for individual councils, but note that in Bradford a complaint aginst someone who is no longer a councillor would not be taken as a valid complaint - which given the nature of the sanctions available would seem sensible

There is still no confirmation of a Portsmouth South by-election. Until such time as there is, keep discussion to the Rumoured and Ramped thread. I've merged these posts into that thread.

Also in my experience these investigations take forever.

Clegg has confirmed investigation by the whips and then
Michael Crick @michaellcrick
Clegg claimed on LBC that Mike Hancock has been "very, very ill", but Hancock still attended Council of Europe in Strasbourg in January
We should note Clegg does a weekly show on LBC now

We shouldn't "note" anything, most of us already knew
