Labour has suspended MP Conor McGinn from the party pending investigation.

It is understood the St Helens North MP was suspended after a complaint was lodged through the party’s independent process.

According to the Guardian, McGinn said the claims were “entirely unfounded”.

It has been confirmed he’s been administratively suspended as a member of the Labour Party and automatic suspension of the parliament whip.

McGinn, 38, is seen as a key ally of leader Sir Keir Starmer, and recently returned to Parliament after time off for a genetic heart condition.

Yesterday Tory MP Julian Knight, the chair of the DCMS committee was suspended after a complaint to the Met police.

He has been approached for comment.
