Labour 'tried to cover up rape'
Party official suggested allegation would harm my career, says female activist

Bex Bailey said she was discouraged from reporting the alleged attack
A senior Labour official tried to cover up the alleged rape of a member of staff at a party event, it was claimed yesterday as the Westminster sex scandal deepened.

Bex Bailey, 25, a former member of the national executive committee, waived her right to anonymity to reveal that she had been raped during a party event in 2011 when she was 19. When she tried to report the incident two years later she claimed that the official tried to dissuade her because it could damage her career.

The allegation is the most serious yet in a growing storm over sexual misconduct in politics. In a separate claim made yesterday, a parliamentary staff member said that she had been sexually assaulted by an MP

THE CASE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION

By

Time: April 1865 Crime: John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln in the state box at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., jumped onto the stage, and escaped through the back of the theater—dramatically changing the course of our nation's history with a single bullet. Evidence: Booth dropped his gun in the state box. The recovered gun was a single-shot pistol with a black walnut stock inlaid with silver, manufactured by the Henry Deringer Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was placed on display at the Ford's Theatre National Historic Site in 1940. Did the gun go missing?Possibly. In 1997—132 years after Lincoln's death—the authenticity of the pistol on display was called into question when the estate of a member of a Northeastern U.S. burglary ring was settled. Members of the ring had allegedly stolen the original Booth pistol in the 1960s—when security at the theater was less vigilant than it is today--and replaced it with a replica. Who did the Nati...

DAILY DEVOTION FOR TODAY 3RD OF NOVEMBER 2017

  Chief Of Sinners   A daily devotion for November 3rd   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: 1 Timothy 1:12-17       This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (1 Timothy 1:15 KJV).       That sounds simple to us, yet it is very profound. All of us were mixed up, confused, bewildered, darkened in our understanding, and alienated from the life of God. Read Paul's descriptions in Ephesians about what we were like before we came to Christ. Everybody--those with brilliant minds, highly educated people--everybody is in the same boat. Christ Jesus came to take away the darkness, unveil the mysteries, remove the illusions, reveal reality, and awaken love, compassion, mercy, and ministry to others. This is the purpose of Christianity. Then Paul says what is the most astonishing thing of all in this passage:  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.  If he had sai...

By

Senator John McCain says Hillary Clinton should not have published her book so soon after losing the 2016 election because it makes her look like she's still campaigning and has nothing else to do. "What's the f-----g point? Keep the fight up? History will judge that campaign, and it's always a period of time before they do," McCain told Esquire magazine in a long interview Monday. "You've got to move on. This is Hillary's problem right now: She doesn't have anything to do." McCain, 81, spoke with the magazine about his recent cancer diagnosis and the mutual animosity between him and President Donald Trump. But he had sharp criticism for Clinton as well, arguing that the defeated Democratic candidate should have taken a page from his 2008 presidential run as a Republican against Barack Obama. "One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistr...
