Thoughts on this?
Far Right rapists just getting away with it? Difficult to put oneself into the position of being a rape victim, but would you really not report it, especially if there was a Far Right element to the rapist's motivation?
Sits ill with me this story.

There's lots of reasons why women don't report a genuine rape, so I don't want to really open that particular box. If that's what happened to her then I wish her all the best and hope she can move on with her life.
However, what I do take more of an issue with is her claim that it was "politically motivated", yet offer no evidence or explanation as to why she thinks that was the case. It smacks a little of her turning a horrific act against her into a political weapon to use, and because of the nature of the act, no-one can dare speak out or question it for fear of getting lynched by the masses.
Sadly there are people out there who are quite prepared to spike some ones drink. She's quite an attractive woman, so it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility that it was just some scumbag who wanted to get what they want, rather than some right-wing plot to "teach her a lesson" or whatever.

My thinking too. Although ref your comment in your first paragraph, does this story help her "get on with her life"?

The way the story is written seems odd too, almost glossing over the serious matter of the rape, to talk about online abuse.
The whole thing reads a bit odd I think. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the media react to this, whether it will disappear into the mire, (story wise) or whether she will be on Good Morning etc soon.

I think it would have been perhaps despite her political beliefs rather then because of them but more likely I would guess is not even a consideration by the offender.
Does appear strange she is linking the crime without any narrative as to why she thinks its political. Politicians do though have a habit of saying stuff based upon dubious thoughts and what may gain them votes.
Also Appears to want to say that the toxicity of the current political climate makes non labour supporters more likely to rape labour supporters. Again a dubious thought process I would suggest aimed at getting political sympathy but sadly detracts from the original crime which she confirms she did not report. Hence using the timing now for her own political perceived gain it would suggest.
There is not any details it's needs reported to the police .. Not trial by media .. it's strange how it's framed in the article
All this needs to be verified - if you want to see the affect of trial by media and Me Too .. just look at Zoey Quinn and Alec Holowka
And it looks like Zoey Quinn was lying her ass off
As above, it's sadly quite possible she was attacked in the UK.
But to assume a "far right" smells like BS to me!
Much like Owen Jones falling over when drunk blaming a "military style far right attack" did
I don't need to dissect her quote too hard
I appreciate Boris isn't universally popular. But he's as far from far right as its possible to get without being a Lefty. He's a social liberal if anything. And conservative in his financial sense. To call him far right is just the usual b
ks. He's not Nick Griffin is he! He's not out there chanting about white power! The left lose any semblance of balance when they go down this route that "everyone I don't like is Hitler"

Will there be a police investigation into this?
I hope so, as it would prove she's lying about the whole thing or lying about it being politically motivated. Raped because she is a Labour candidate, it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard and insults men and women who are actual victims of rape.Leicester Loyal said:

You seem fairly certain she's a liar, why couldn't it be possible she was raped because of her politics ?Jo Cox was killed because of her politics.

Indeed. And her murderer made several political statements before, during and afterwards.Jo Cox was killed because of her politics.
So far the Labour MP hasn't said the rapist made any comment on her allegiances.
Very similar to Owen Jones drunken fall, his alleged "assailants" also made no comments, yet he can determine they were "far right!Cantaloupe said:

Because it's an easy line to throw out isn't it? Much like the Owen Jones one from a few weeks ago. If I say I was stabbed by a far left activist last year but didn't report it it doesn't make it true. She's come out with this statement and then refused to take it any further, which says to me it's being used purely for political purposes.Jo Cox was killed because of her politics.

Spiking, when it takes place and is not just women underestimating the effects of alcohol, usually means it would be someone known to her. I would suggest the chances of a Labour activist going drinking with someone chanting Seig Heil are fairly low and similarly if they were expressing extreme right wing opinions such as the need for border controls or that criminals should be locked up. Jo Cox was killed because of her politics.
There needs to be a police investigation into this as no one should be allowed to get away with rape.
If she doesn't want to report it for herself then she needs to think about protecting other women out there to protect them so they do not have to endure the same horrific crime.
However, if there is an investigation and she has been making this up she needs to be charged and jailed.
Hopefully, this story is factful but something seems to not add up.
