MP Charlotte Nichols waived her anonymity to tell Parliament she was raped while in her role. Labour's Warrington North representative, who has not previously spoken in the Commons about her experience, said it happened at an event she attended as a member of Parliament. She shared her story as she hit out at the Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy's plans to curb access to jury trials as MPs debated the Courts and Tribunals Bill. If passed, the measure would see cases with a likely sentence of three years or less being heard by a single crown court judge. Ms Nichols accused Mr Lammy of using victims as a “cudgel” to drive through reforms to the courts system, as she spoke of her own experience. She told the Commons on Tuesday 10 March: “I waited 1,088 days to go to court.” “Every single one of those days was agony, made worse by having a role in public life that meant that the mental health consequences of my trauma were played out in public, with the event that led to my eventual sectioning for my own safety, still being something that I receive regular social media abuse from strangers about to this day.” “But here’s the kicker, in this debate, experiences like mine feel like they’ve been weaponised and are being used for rhetorical misdirection, for what this Bill actually is.” itv.com/news/granada/2…
