Subject: RE: BS: Sexual impropriety at Westminster
Jim, that statement is a fact.
It is actually a quote from the Telegraph, but the story was in all the media.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/22/45-female-labour-mps-write-to-jeremy-corbyn-demanding-he-does-mo/

BBC,
"Over 40 female Labour MPs have written to party leader Jeremy Corbyn urging him to do more to tackle abuse of MPs.
The letter highlighted an "extremely worrying trend of escalating abuse and hostility" towards MPs in recent weeks.
Women were disproportionately affected by these "disgusting and totally unacceptable" incidents, it said."
"It continues: "We have also been alarmed to learn that our shadow chancellor and other members of the shadow cabinet have addressed rallies and events in which demonstrations outside MPs' offices and bullying at CLP meetings have been either actively encouraged or quietly condoned."
The letter asks Mr Corbyn to make three pledges including "an unequivocal statement declaring his support for all MPs, particularly women, and clearly condemning campaigning outside MPs' offices, surgeries etc".
It finishes: "Jeremy, this is being done in your name." "
