MP Andrew Rosindell Arrested in Shocking Sex Assault Probe
Andrew Rosindell, Tory MP for Romford, was arrested earlier today in a pre-planned police operation, sources reveal. The Metropolitan Police worked closely with Commons authorities and Conservative Whips to keep the move under wraps. Despite his arrest, Rosindell was formally told not to attend Parliament — a rare move as he remains uncontactable.

A spokesperson from the Tory Whips’ Office confirmed Rosindell has been barred from the parliamentary estate “until further notice.” They said:
“The chief whip has asked that the MP concerned does not attend the parliamentary estate while an investigation is ongoing. Until the conclusion of the investigation, we will not be commenting further.”
