Someone in the Labour Party didn't do their job. This should have been dredged up before the election. Had it been widely known that the Reform candidate was a violent woman-beating thug, I'm sure Labour would have won here. So you are not the kind of liberal who thinks criminals who serve their time and turn their lives around should be allowed to get on with their lives 20 years later? It was 20 years ago, he has a good job, a nice house and four kids. I don't support his politics but he should get on with life

"Former criminals should be able to rehabilitate themselves" and "it's not fair to mention that somebody running to be an MP has a domestic violence conviction" are not the same statement.

There are certain professions where spent convictions need to be declared, chiefly those where you are likely to be interacting with members of the public.
