Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle, representing Brighton Kemptown, has been suspended by the Labour Party following a complaint regarding his behaviour.

The party has declared that he will not be eligible to be a candidate in the upcoming election on 4 July.

Russell-Moyle has labelled the complaint as 'vexatious and politically motivated,' referring to an incident that occurred eight years ago.

He has expressed his commitment to cooperating with the investigation and remains confident of his eventual exoneration.

The Labour Party reiterated its policy of taking all complaints seriously, with full investigations conducted in accordance with its rules and procedures.

Russell-Moyle, who was first elected to Westminster in 2017, shared a personal statement on social media, mentioning the complaint was unexpected and originated from an anonymous source.

Despite his suspension, he aims to contribute to public life in alternative ways and maintains his aspirations for a Labour government.

The party's National Executive Committee is scheduled to finalize its candidate list on Tuesday, with the deadline for election candidate registration set for 7 June.
