The former Labour MP Jared OâMara has been sanctioned by the House of Commons for an âabuse of powerâ and the sexual harassment of a former staffer, sending her âinappropriate messages and approachesâ.
Parliamentâs standards watchdog revoked the former Sheffield Hallam MPâs parliamentary pass, which he is entitled to hold as an ex-member. The complaint, made in July 2019, has taken almost two years to result in a sanction and is likely to prompt calls for the process to be made swifter for victims.
OâMara was elected in 2017, defeating the former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, but faced a string of controversies during his time in parliament.
