Shadow Minister Bambos Charalambous suspended as Labour open conduct probe


Labour Shadow Minister Bambos Charalambous has been suspended from the party following an allegation about his conduct. 

The shadow Foreign Office minister and MP for Enfield Southgate is under investigation after a complaint was made against him.

In a statement posted to Twitter, he said: “I am aware that there is an allegation that requires investigation by the Labour Party.

“It is right and proper that process is allowed to take place. I will cooperate fully and play my full part.

“It is not appropriate to say anything further at this time.”

Mr Charalambous is the ninth Labour MP to have the whip suspended since 2019. 

A formal complaint is understood to have been made to Labour’s independent complaints process.

Mr Charalambous has therefore been administratively suspended from the Labour Party, which has the automatic effect of suspending the whip. 

He has stood down from his frontbench role on the shadow foreign affairs team.
