Not to get fully into it, but the circumstances strongly support the presence of ideation and a degree of preparation for an extended time. I don't think you can easily support any argument against a premeditated suicide.

We could speculate on whether it meant something, or we could laugh that an absolute piece of poo poo has just lost the last vestiges of his previous life and credibility because the Mail were bored.

All he had to do was say he misunderstood the rules, take a holiday, and then go back to the grift. This smacks of people who lose every penny they have to lawyers fees over appealing something inconsequential because they cannot accept being told no.

He could have just served his suspension and carried on being an MP right? If he just apologised and took his medicine I doubt there would have been a recall petition and this story would have been gone in a week.

It was long enough to allow a recall petition, which would probably have gotten the ~8k signatures for a by-election.

Absolutely no way he lost it coming from 60% in back to back elections though

A recall petition is automatically created if an MP is suspended for longer than ten days, IIRC. And I think that someone would have mustered enough support to trigger a by-election.

Suspended sentence and 200 hours of community service for Claudia Webbe. Also expelled from the Labour Party (having previously lost the whip)

Recall petition automatically triggered if she doesn't appeal (or fails an appeal) I think.

Just checked and of course this updated article is not featured anywhere on the BBC website, so nobody who read the piece a few days ago without knowing that Cade is an utter poo poo, will carry on without knowing about it unless they randomly decide to go back and re-read an article from a few days ago.

City of London Police haven't had a major role in prosecuting large-scale financial crimes since the 80s when Thatcher deregulated the banking industry.

(They did still have a responsibility for specific types of fraud right up to the 90s when the Polly Peck and BCCI cases proved that moving outside the Liberties basically took you off their radar, and I'm sure that it's just coincidence this was the point when Canary Wharf switched from trying to sell office space to newspapers and technology companies to selling it to multinational banks)

They do still run a couple of specialised economic crime units (for some reason they're responsible for policing cheque fraud, for example) but banks "contributing" to them is more about making sure that Certain Types get moved on much quicker than they would do normally.

The Ring of Crap Bus Shelters (which is what they should be forced by law to call the vehicle checkpoints at the old city gates rather than the Ring Of Steel) is still up and still sporadically in use 25 years since the end of the IRA spectaculars campaign, and that's got a lot more to do with stopping anyone with dreadlocks getting in than it has to stop car bombs, and is part of the City trying to keep hold of banks that they're losing to Canary Wharf and its private police force.

So the police have arrested the person that stole the vicars identity and stole his house, but notably their first response was that this wasn't a serious issue and to contact action fraud.

Only when the national press got interested did it get escalated to the serious fraud office.

Guy still very unlikely to get his house back.

I imagine he will get the house back. If the fraudster is convicted then the contract should be voided on the basis that performance only arose from an illegal act.

From very fuzzy memories, I think the transfer by the land registry of the title is actually lawful, and he’ll be compensated but won’t get his house back

Hope he sues the poo poo out of the solicitors.
Not just about the house but about his stuff esp papers. He probably has all manner of irreplaceable documents, photos etc that have gone - where?
The purchaser will also have lost out as IIRC the purchase will be void assuming they bought in good faith.

It wouldn’t surprise me if no professional advisor really did anything wrong. If they’re collecting the right (forged) ID docs, correspondence is going to the property and being answered, how are they meant to detect what’s happening?

I cant find anything concrete about this which is why I'm open to the idea that the contract is null and void, however it does appear that once the land registry is final tough poo poo. Depends on if the current owners give it up based on the sale being fraud?

If you look at the land registry fraud website they have a process for amending the registry in case of mistake as well as providing compensation.

Mistake in this case includes fraud as well, though IANAL.

I've had to provide certified copies of ID when buying a house. This involved a solicitor checking that the person matches the photo on an original driving license or passport, and that the details on this ID matches all the other documents involved.

If they didn't pick up that the ID had been somehow altered or forged then someone has dropped a bollock.

The ID wasn't altered or forged as such though, they had gained access to the property and applied for a replacement driving license with their own picture on it. They apparently also applied for a virgin broadband installation to get a bill and stuff with the address.
