Wooton is more whataboutery I’m afraid. He’s not a household name in any way, shape or form. Nor are his wages paid by the taxpayer.
I will accept the mod nudge to leave it there.

Sorry, one last comment. Said MP was not subject to any court proceedings AFAIK for the last year (and still isn't) so I am unclear where the Contempt of Court rabbit hole came from. And, yet again, I was contrasting coverage (or lack of) of the
unnamed MP.
Here is the article from the Times where they decided to name the MP:
If the truth about our MPs is hidden, democracy suffers
I urge you to read it. They do not refer to the threat of Contempt of Court because there isn't any.
Enough now ...
