Cameron Thomas MP has had the party whip suspended as he faces a police investigation into allegations of assault and coercion. A spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats stated that the party whip has been withdrawn pending the outcome of the police investigation, emphasizing the seriousness of such allegations.
The party will not comment further while the investigation is ongoing. Thomas, 43, who previously served as a Royal Air Force officer, was elected as the Member of Parliament for Tewkesbury in the 2024 general election. He currently sits as an independent MP, though his parliamentary access has reportedly been temporarily revoked.
