Dunno if anyone seen this, but Crispin Odey (Tory backer) is up on charges.

Because it matches the facts about the suspect the newspapers revealed

I assume you're not a detective? ;)

We know the Tory MP accused of rape is in their 50s and is a former minister.

If this is Francois.......good strawberry floating lords.

Actually that's probably where he is heading anyway despite anything.

Apparently Starmer has cut Boris' lead down to three percent.

I hadn’t read anything about his age in the article I read this morning. I assume more info came out after I read about it.

Looking through Twitter he doesn’t appear to have had an account, so he hasn’t made it that obvious on himself if nothing else.

I can’t find any evidence of it. Looking at old news articles from 2019 and 2018, including this i article from 2019, he doesn’t have one:

In the absence of a Mark Francois Twitter account, his parody page was more than happy to step in and reassure everyone of his safety.

He has a Facebook though.
