Nick Brown, the former Labour Party chief whip, is to step down before the next election after he was suspended over an undisclosed complaint.
Confirming that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election, the MP for Newcastle upon Tyne East said: “My decision to stand down is made against the backdrop of a long-running internal Labour Party disciplinary process against me – a process which I consider (and am advised) is so fundamentally, and inexcusably, flawed that I can no longer engage with it.”
