MP Neil Coyle has had the Labour whip suspended over allegations he made racist comments to a journalist on the Parliamentary estate last week.
Keir Starmer and Labour Chief Whip Sir Campbell made the decision to suspend the MP for Bermondsey and Southwark after he was alleged to have made Sinophobic remarks to Henry Dyer, a British-Chinese journalist working for Business Insider, in the House of Commons bar, Strangers.
Mr Dyer said he came into contact with Mr Coyle on the evening of Tuesday February 1, after going for Chinese New Year dinner with his family.
