Seems Corbyn intervened to stop Prescott's son getting suspended after he was accused of making unwanted sexual advances to an MP.

Seems no formal complaint was made....

no idea about this case but..

"unwanted advances" ??? this is surely very tricky. How do people pick each other up these days?

Can chatting someone up in a bar or pub be "unwanted advances"?

If no formal complaint was made, it seems a bit much to expect him to be suspended.

Similar allegations were apparently made about his father.

Apr 26 2006 Prescott admits to two-year affair, coined "Templegate" in the media, with his diary secretary Tracey Temple. This leads to a string of accusations of groping and harassment, and numerous calls for resignation.

Linda McDougall, wife of then Labour MP Austin Mitchell, alleged in 2006 that Lord Prescott groped her

It would seem the PC feminist brigade championed by those awful Blairite luvvies..Harriett Harmann and Jackboot Jackie etc went too far....and now even an attempted chat up...without a complaint is enough to hang you...especially working for the Islington Dykes Association
I can remember having a chat a few years ago with a legal mind...who said it was being touted that they would ban cross examination of people who made sexual allegation un a court...can't quite remember how they would go about getting evidence...I think scarcely they were inferring the accusation was proof of guilt!

Old Labour was full of drunken randy bigots of course...perhaps Prescott was one of the last survivors from that era?

Just glad a little sense is now being shown...

Hedda is still Spartacus...and Galloway is still sacked...
