Crispin Blunt arrest not sign of wider cultural issue in Tory party – Keegan
The Independent says Gillian Keegan has insisted there is no wider cultural problem within the Conservatives, after senior MP Crispin Blunt was suspended by the party after being arrested on suspicion of rape and the possession of controlled substances.
Mr Blunt, a former minister, identified himself as the man that Surrey Police detained in Horley on Wednesday morning, before his release on conditional bail.
The Reigate MP said he will “co-operate fully” with the ongoing investigation and is “confident” that he will not be charged.
