'Letter from the Commissioner to Cllr Zoë O'Connell, 23 May 2018
I wrote to you on 27 March 2018 to say that I was beginning an inquiry into your allegation of a breach of House of Commons rules by Mr David TC Davies MP. I am writing now to let you know the outcome.
I have corresponded with Mr Davies and I have consulted the Serjeant at Arms.
Having considered carefully the evidence I have obtained, I do not uphold the allegation.'

My understanding is that the Lib Dem LGBT+ twitter account is run by four people.

Yes wishiwas, I felt the same after reading this Guardian article about them. Gaslighting doesn't even begin to cover it.

A married father of three who worked in IT and had a dabble on tumblr.

It’s a classic modern day fairytale ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Poor Zoe. So many complaints; so little substance.

Such a sad story - I feel for Sylvia, how gaslit she is by these two deluded narcissistic men.

David Davies included this link in his response: www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/meet-transgender-would-be-mp-lesbian-5583963

Suddenly it all makes sense. @DrRadFem - 👏👏👏👏

I'm honestly in awe of you & what you did to make this event happen. And special thanks also to David TC Davis MP. That ruling is soooo satisfying to read Grin

I've just looked Zoe up.

I thought the letter was a touch obsessive for a handmaiden
