Chris Pincher, the former Tory deputy chief whip who resigned over groping allegations, has been suspended by the Conservative party.

Pincher lost the Conservative whip after calls grew from Tory MPs to exclude him from the party.

A spokesperson for the chief whip said:



Having heard that a formal complaint has been made to the ICGS, the PM has agreed with the chief whip that the whip should be suspended from Chris Pincher while the investigation is ongoing.

My colleague Aubrey Allegretti has a short story on this, with more soon.
