Whatever is really the story here,since reports have gone to the police,legal advice taken.
Until that process goes through and the full and real details are known that are established legal and right facts.
Then it's time to judge any Parties position and what should be done.

Just as the accusations of sexual harassment related to some in the Con party and others.
It was right for the Cons to say little at all until legal advice was given,and the investigation and process of law as to legal rights were near or were completed.

Labour will act and should do so too as to any proven,solidly substantiated wrongdoing on any issue.
So I will wait now,since legal advice has been taken,also any referrals to police or officialdom is completed.
When absolutely full substantiated facts are in place and them legitimately made known.

As for membership, over half a million members is hardly losing members at all.
Of course,as in all Parties,even much smaller Parties,in Labour and Cons,there are people who may be better not in the Parties as Members.

However,where legality is taken as in issues as in sex scandals,expenses scandal,and this issue possibly too.
I will hold my counsel until full investigate processes have actually deemed what are justifiable facts either way before I'll go into the issue.
It sounds bad,however apart from the expenses scandal, few things end up being proven to be as bad as was originally expected.
So I for one unsurprisingly will wait ,while sharing of course dismay at the content IF it were it to be proven fully substantiated,I stress IF.
