Labour MP Christian Matheson suspended for ‘serious sexual misconduct’ following allegations of ‘sexually motivated’ and ‘intimidating’ behaviour.
It’s alleged the married father of two invited the female colleague on a private trip abroad and "the invitation was sexually motivated, unwanted, and had placed the complainant under pressure and intimidated her".
Holding the position of MP for the City of Chester since 2015, Mr Matheson is said to have “linked arms with her; made personal comments about her appearance while looking at her suggestively”.

A Labour spokesperson said: "This is an incredibly serious case. There must be a zero tolerance for sexual harassment and the Labour Party has acted immediately following the ICGS findings.
The report added: “Tahe Commissioner concluded that these were all unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances".
