An MP is facing suspension after drunkenly abusing two people in a Commons bar. Neil Coyle has been recommended for a five-day suspension for drunkenly abusing two people in the Strangers bar.
On one occasion it was found he used “abusive language with racial overtones”. The Independent Expert Panel found he breached Parliament’s bullying and harassment policy in a report published on Friday over two incidents.
One was the “foul-mouthed and drunken abuse” of another MP’s assistant and the other was the abuse of political journalist Henry Dyer. Both incidents were investigated under Parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) .
