AS Karen Danczuk, the estranged wife of Simon Danczuk MP for Rochdale, was pictured last week in The Sun newspaper entering La Belle beauty parlour in leafy Cheadle, Stockport, she said 'My healing starts now'. She followed this up by branding her own 38-year-old brother, Michael Burke, a 'selfish coward' and declaring 'I hope he rots in jail'. Mr. Burke had just been sentenced to 15-years on eight counts of rape and one indecent assault against his sister and two other women who cannot be named. Mrs. Burke had previously told The Sun, 'My brother is a monster for raping me'. She had told the jury the abuse perpetrated by her brother had ruined her schooling, left her incapable of love and intimacy and that she struggles with depression and anxiety. Those of our readers who may not had seen Karen Danczuk, who is said to be a regular panelist on ITV's 'Loose Women', and has performed on 'Bear Grylls', may care to peruse the colourful detailed report below in The Sun's rival newspaper The Mail on Sunday published in July 2015:

A text that read: ‘I’m scared.’ A claim of threats to kill... Disturbing
questions about the MP who crusades against abuse

It’s not often I say this but I’m scared,’ said the midnight
text that Karen Burke sent to her mother, Sue, from Spain. ‘Who knows how long
I’ll have to stay in [the] airport for? I can’t believe he’s done this!’ It was
very late on August 25, 2008, and Karen’s future husband Simon Danczuk was
about to dump her, their infant son, Milton, and her seven-year-old niece Eboni
at Alicante airport after a titanic holiday row – without airline tickets or
enough money to get home.
Soon to be elected as Rochdale’s Labour MP, Mr Danczuk would
later become famous as a scourge of child abusers. But that day at Alicante
after an evening of escalating conflict with his partner, he seemed ready to
leave both Karen and the children to their fates. They were forced to wait at
the airport all night while her family in Rochdale desperately tried to arrange
and pay for flights home for them the next day.
Today, The Mail on Sunday can reveal disturbing new details
of this incident – and of contemporary statements about it drawn up for a
secretive Labour Party inquiry. These alleged that although he was apparently
provoked, Mr Danczuk not only abandoned but physically assaulted his partner.
The inquiry was held not to decide whether Mr Danczuk had
attacked Karen but whether those who claimed he had, by so doing so had brought
the party into disrepute. It ruled in Mr Danczuk’s favour and five party members
were expelled. Interviewed by this newspaper last week, some of the statements’
authors – close members of Simon and Karen Danczuk’s families – insisted they
stand by what they said, and they remain certain they are relating the story as
Karen told it to them.
Mr Danczuk has always denied the row became violent and that
he assaulted Karen. Afterwards, they were reconciled and she now also denies
the claims of an assault. She told Rochdale Online that she was distressed by
the accusation, describing it as ‘very offensive’. And Mr Danczuk slammed the
allegations as ‘vicious mischief making’, adding that they were ‘totally untrue
and absolute nonsense’.
But even if the allegations of violence were exaggerated, it
is clear they emerged directly from what Karen told her family that night and
during the following day. The incident raises disturbing questions about the
volatility of the couple’s subsequent marriage – which recently juddered to a
very public halt. Our investigation comes as the Sunday Mirror today reports
bizarre claims that Mrs Danczuk considered paying a lapdancer £1,000 to sleep
with her husband in an attempt to end their marriage. Today we can reveal that:
