When will anti-Corbyn MPs condemn Danczuk?

A member of the Labour Party has lashed out at his ex-wife, leaving her with wounds to her chest and hand. He walked free from court only because the ex-wife would not press charges because she did not want their young children to see him in prison. Where is the queue of Labour women MPs calling for action finally to be taken against him?

The answer is: nowhere.

Labour women MPs who oppose Jeremy Corbyn have been queuing up to condemn Corbyn for allegedly failing to stop abuse of women members and MPs within the Party. They have not been able to cite actual examples – or explain why they have not reported the abusers in accordance with Labour’s very clear procedures for dealing with members accused of bad behaviour. On the other hand, when Simon Danczuk MP was arrested a week ago, after an incident involving his ex-wife, there was a chorus of silence.

Danczuk was elected as a Labour MP. He was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party last December after admitting he had sent inappropriate texts of a sexual nature to a young woman who had been considering working in his office. He remains suspended: no charges have been brought against him, eight months after his suspension. He has also been an outspoken critic of Jeremy Corbyn.

Now Ms Danczuk has told the Sun on Sunday that Mr Danczuk attacked her to the point she feared for her life. She had apparently interrupted a conversation with her former husband to take a phone call from her current boyfriend, but Mr Danczuk snatched her phone and threw it into a swimming pool. She retrieved the phone and went indoors, but he followed her and a loud row broke out which woke up several neighbours. During the row, a glass door panel shattered. Pictures of her leaving hospital, with a dressing across her chest, have appeared.

This would seem the ideal opportunity for anti-Corbyn Labour women MPs to call on party officials to take further disciplinary action against the anti-Corbyn Mr Danczuk. We are still waiting…
