MP under investigation for alleged drink spiking incident in House of Commons bar

An MP is under investigation for allegedly spiking a woman's drink with a date-rape drug at Strangers' Bar in the House of Commons. The bar is currently closed for a security review following the incident reported to the Metropolitan Police. The woman, a Parliamentary researcher, recognized the alleged perpetrator's lanyard but did not identify his name or party. This incident adds to ongoing concerns about the drinking culture in Westminster. The government is addressing spiking as part of broader efforts to combat violence against women. The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made yet.
