Thank you to the many people who have sent their kind wishes to me and my family this week. At this difficult time, I will be stepping aside from my current consultancy work to focus on my family and suicide prevention.

A great pleasure to host Tricia Sharpe BEM of Loppington, #NorthShropshire, in Parliament today. Received British Empire Medal earlier this year for services to gymnastics.

“My arguments and witnesses are not properly represented in the report. My lawyers are astounded by the procedure and said if Parliamentary privilege were surrendered and we had open access to a judge in court, the whole process would be chucked out.” My @Daily_Express interview. https://t.co/CUeGn4bBCf
"This process isn’t fair and that is why it hasn’t got to the truth." "There are 17 witnesses who say not guilty …In Parliament of all places this should not happen …rights to a fair and proper process must be upheld" My experienced lawyer Philip Barden. https://t.co/h1Pq2762fA
