O’mara reinstated by Labour after suspension

Labour have readmitted an MP – who made a string of misogynistic and homophobic comments on social media – after its disciplinary body decided not to refer him for expulsion.

Jared O’mara, who was suspended last year, was issued with a formal warning by Labour’s national executive committee. Separately, it has emerged that Claudia Webbe, a pro-corbyn councillor in Islington, has been appointed chairman of the Labour Party’s disciplinary panel.
