Today we celebrate exactly one year of suspension from the Labour Party and absence from the House of Comons of Nick Brown MP (who I knew at university!
)
Increase your WordPower - 'Super-injunction'
In English tort law, a super-injunction is a type of injunction that prevents publication of information that is in issue and also prevents the reporting of the fact that the injunction exists at all.
Due to their very nature media organisations are not able to report who has obtained a super-injunction without being in contempt of court. "We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

A whole year has passed since Labour suspended former Chief Whip Nick Brown without a public explanation. Since then, while Nick continues to collect his £86,584 salary, the party has kept schtum on the nature of the complaint brought him down. An internal investigation was launched, as always, and it’s been kicked into the long grass. Today Labour said they weren’t going to get into individual cases. A full year to investigate a ‘serious complaint’ with no further updates, and no further action.
Nick isn’t the only figure who’s had their file kicked into the long grass by Labour’s complaints department: in two days, it will have been eighteen months since the party began investigating John Bercow. In the time of that investigation, Neil Coyle regained the whip and Rupa Huq first lost it, then had it restored. It’s almost like the party doesn’t want a resolution…

Yes. The diifference is that we have been allowed to know why other Members of Parliament, of ALL parties, have been suspended.

I think it's fair to say I have commented on many of these cases over the past year or so .
The right wing Labour party is clearly out of control of itself !
