Untangled from Webbe

A POLITICIAN has resigned after being investigated by the police. No, not that one. It’s Claudia Webbe, who’s quit the Foreign Affairs Committee after her conviction for harassing a woman she suspected of having an affair with her partner.

She still refuses to resign as MP for Leicester East though, despite losing the Labour whip.

Committee members will miss her cross-examining skills, such as when she kept asking the then-Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab why he wasn’t considering ‘legal action’ in Belarus without saying against whom and why.

Webbe, left, who threatened to throw acid at the woman she harassed, told relieved committee colleagues it had been a ‘real pleasure’ working with them.
