A Labour MP has been suspended after allegations that he made racist comments to a journalist at Westminster.
Neil Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, has been accused of using offensive language against a reporter in the Strangers’ Bar in the House of Commons.
Journalist Henry Dyer said he reported the alleged comments to the Commons Speaker, who he said took “immediate action” with his staff and suspended Coyle from the bars on the estate pending an investigation.
