Andrew Bridgen: MP claims he was slapped on the head in Portcullis House
www.bbc.co.uk
Conservative MP Crispin Blunt says the allegation from Mr Bridgen is "not correct".

The Tories just cannot stop themselves from literally attacking each other.

Could be another byelection, but even on current form I don’t see Labour or the Lib Dems flipping Reigate:

  • Aside from defections, it’s been Conservative since 1910
  • Crispin Blunt has been MP since 1997
  • He’s won a majority of votes cast in the last four general elections

    I wonder if this has to go through the IEP process as Bone did? If so it might be a while before we see any movement towards a suspension. Sounds fairly cut and dry though.

      Yes, I believe so. If he’s right about the witnesses and they back him up, it should be quite a quick process, though.
