A Labour MP who was suspended over offensive messages in a WhatsApp group is to have the party whip restored.
Oliver Ryan, who represents Burnley, was suspended over his role in the group in which racist, sexist and anti-Semitic messages were exchanged.
The vile posts led to the dramatic sacking of health minister Andrew Gwynne after The Mail on Sunday brought them to Downing Street’s attention in February.
Mr Ryan received a six-month suspension from Labour after an internal investigation - but will regain the whip when the House of Commons returns next month.
The 30-year-old, who won his seat at last summer’s general election, posted more than 2,000 messages to the private group chat called Trigger Me Timbers.
