SHEFFIELD HALLAM MP REPORTEDLY ARRESTED NATIONAL press outlets have reported that Hallam MP, Jared O’Mara, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud, along with his chief of staff Gareth Arnold.

The Daily Mirror reported that the two men were arrested before being released pending further investigation. The newspaper said that police officers raided the constituency office of the MP, with documents and computers removed investigation. In July, O’Mara said he was, “taking time out for mental health treatment” and promised to resign at the end of summer after a number of allegations from staff. Mr O’Mara said: “Please let everyone be assured that I will be tendering my resignation via the official Parlia-

mentary process as soon as term restarts. “I am not in any fit state to continue and nor would that be appropriate if I was. I reiterate my apology to my constituents, the people of Sheffield and the people of the UK as whole.” Arnold was at the centre of media attention recently, posting his resignation statement on Jared O’Mara’s Twitter account. Arnold then posted a number of Tweets about the politician from his personal account. However, Arnold claimed earlier this month that he was still working for the former Labour representative. Arnold told the BBC two weeks ago that he had “extended his notice period” but admitted he had not been cleared by parliamentary authorities to work in the of-

fice, including having access to O’Mara’s official email account. He commented: “I am running a constituency office on behalf of an MP without the required security clearance from the parliamentary authorities. It’s crazy, isn’t it?” A spokesman for Sheffield Hallam Liberal Democrats said: “We have been calling for the resignation of Jared O’Mara for a long time. “With crucial votes coming up in Westminster, the people of Sheffield Hallam need an MP they can count on to fight Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans and to stand up for local communities.” The MP has cut a controversial figure since ousting Nick Clegg from the seat with a number of complaints about his behaviour.
