Labour has suspended eleven councillors in Greater Manchester as part of an investigation into a WhatsApp group where offensive messages were shared.
The group, revealed by the Mail on Sunday over the weekend, has already led to the suspension of two Labour MPs in the region.
Gorton and Denton MP Andrew Gwynne was suspended on Saturday, admitting he had made “badly misjudged” comments. He was also sacked as a health minister.
Burnley MP Oliver Ryan was then suspended on Tuesday, saying he had made comments “which I deeply regret”.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: “As part of our WhatsApp group investigation, a group of councillors have been administratively suspended from the Labour Party.
“As soon as this group was brought to our attention, a thorough investigation was launched in line with the Labour Party’s rules and procedures and this process is ongoing.
“Swift action will always be taken where individuals are found to have breached the high standards expected of them as Labour Party members.”
