Labour MP Oliver Ryan suspended from party over 'deeply disappointing' WhatsApp messages A second Labour MP has been suspended from the party for comments made in a WhatsApp group.
The 29-year-old Burnley MP apologised on Sunday and said he "deeply regrets" the comments he made, which a government source said were "unacceptable and deeply disappointing".
He is the second Labour MP to be suspended by the party for comments made in the same WhatsApp group.
The MP for Gorton and Denton reportedly made antisemitic comments and "joked" about a pensioner constituent, saying he hoped she died before the next election, according to the Mail on Sunday.
The Labour Party confirmed Oliver Ryan has had the whip removed, meaning he will now sit as an independent MP.
