An MP should be suspended from Parliament for five days over two alcohol-fuelled incidents in a Commons bar, a watchdog has said.
Neil Coyle, who lost the Labour whip after the complaints, faces the sanctions after a report from the Independent Expert Panel, which considers allegations of misconduct by MPs.
Mr Coyle, who told the Mirror last week that quitting drinking had saved his life, was found to have breached Parliament's bullying and harassment rules when he "used abusive language with racial overtones” to a British-Chinese political journalist.
