An MP & two students make a complaint about David Prescott and sexual harassment - yet he remains a Labour member who had just 2 weeks suspension from his job in Corbyn’s office, & months later went for selection to be an MP himself.
🙃😠
EXCLUSIVE: Corbyn's office blocked bid to suspend his aide David Prescott over sexual misconduct claims from 1993 to 2017. It came after female MP told Corbyn she was harassed + referred claim he was "forceful and aggressive" to two Labour Students who "refused" to sleep with him
