Burnley MP Oliver Ryan has been suspended from the Labour parliamentary party.

Ryan was summoned to a meeting with Chief Whip Sir Alan Campbell over WhatsApp messages.

The messages appear to show Ryan mocking a Labour MP for his sexuality and denigrating the local Labour Party vice-chairman.

He becomes the second MP to be suspended over their participation in the group.
